Happy Semana Santa!
To all of my wonderful students - Enjoy Semana Santa!
Just two weeks into our new school year and we are faced with a big, 4-day holiday weekend. Most of you will probably head for the beach, but no matter where you go, have a great time. But remember, your papers and reading assignment is still due Monday!
Also, Monday will be a partial day because of Dia del Maestro (Teacher Day - another holiday? I loooove this place) - but even if our scheduled class is not held that day the papers still need to be turned in.
Have a wonderful time!

Questions for CEMEX Case Study
Some students haven´t been able to find the questions they are supposed to answer for the CEMEX Case Study. Here they are to make sure all can see:
1) Describe the main differences between primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. Give examples of how CEMEX carries out work involving each of these sectors.
2) Explain what is meant by sustainable location and evaluate some of the action taken by CEMEX to locate in a sustainable way.
3) Give two examples of how CEMEX is contributing to sustainable performance. Show what the benefits are to the company and to the environment.
4) Evaluate why a business should locate close to its raw materials and end market. Explain yur answer by referring to quarries, ready mix concrete and dredging activities.
Then chose one of the following Ecuador companies for further research:
Petroecuador
Alegro PCS
TAME
Empresa Electrica de Ecuador.
Compare and contrast what you discover about Cemex and your chosen company about environmental friendliness and sustainability.
That´s the entire assignment! It still needs to be typed or printed to the Paper grading Rubric Standards, and needs to be turned in by April 13.
Have a great week!
