Economics - Inflation Assignment

This blog post has four components, so please take your time to review which parts are relevant for your specific situation. There are only a few students who would need to complete items #3, and #4.

#1 - ALL students are to bring in a supermarket weekly circular similar to the assignment we did in the Fall. This is a MUST DO assignment as we need the circulars to compare pricing to last fall and check for INFLATION.

#2 - Students desirous to exchange a REPLACEMENT grade for any assignment they did not do, may complete the Chapter 14, Section 3 Assessment - numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, & 6. There is no need to do (#2 Vocab, or the Critical Thinking). Turn that assignment in Thursday or Friday and I will make a note on your 15 Week Progress Report indicating you did the extra credit.

#3 - Some students did not complete a constructed response to the Mid-term and can earn up to 20 points extra credit for completing about an hour of internet research on the different prices for common goods between your birthdate and today's date. For instance, I found that a gallon of gas in 1994 cost $1.09 on a particular website. Look for as many examples as you can and submit them Thursday or Friday for the extra credit.

#4 - This is for students that still must complete the Computer literacy requirement for graduation. You need to complete a spreadsheet analysis of your 15 Week DRAFT Progress Report. Use the Progress Report handed out on Monday, May 2 for Periods 1 and 5, and Tuesday, May 3 for Period 2. Look back on the blog after 6:00pm Monday May 2 for a link to my google documents where I will make the template available for you. Most students should be able to complete this assignment in class this week, or certainly by the end of next week.
