Economics Assignment due 2/3 or 2/4

An illustrated Economics Textbook assignment is due the last period this week. This assignment is 1/12 the value of your 5 week progress report and NO make-up of the assignment will be allowed if you choose not to complete it.

The assignment has a number of requirments;
1) Your book MUST be covered in a paper bag. No, you may not use the Trader Joe's bags from Leadership. Use the underside of the bag so the maximum free area of the craft paper can be utilized for your illustration(s).

2) Illustrate your book cover either in COLOR, or the absence of color (pencil, or single color).

3) Your illustration(s) must include these components -
a. Your selection of a California Content Standard in Economics (click the link) or The National Council of Economic Education Basic Concepts in Economics (from Pages xxviii- Page1 in our book)including your interpretation of which Principles of Economic Reasoning are applied.
b. A cut-and-paste Economic Political Cartoon, or an original drawing you produce which carries a premium of 50% credit for this assignment.
c. Your selection of a Publicly Traded Company stock symbol for a company you would consider obtaining a career with. Include the current price per share, the 52-Week high and low price, and the current marked capitalization - All available of google.com/finance
d. A cut-and-paste Wordle of your preferred Chapter of focus, including key vocabulary in that chapter, plus enough additional vocab terms from within our book to total 25 VOCABULARY TERMS. This printout should be simple, mostly BLACK text on White background so you can print it from the classroom printer. Please ask permission before using the printer. SEE EXAMPLE TO YOUR LEFT

I'm highly confident you could also double-dip (get two things accomplished with one activity) this assignment and convert at least half of your investment into an Event!!
