The Current Event for Week 8 is to locate an "Economics" themed book, or section within a book discussing a specific area of economics you would like to learn more about; to read and write about it.
Using either google books or Amazon books, locate a book and find a passage of 5 to 10 pages in length to read. After you complete the reading, write a 600 word minimum summary of what you read and include a short narrative using 2 ERP's to demonstrate your understanding of the material in economics terms.
Your completed assignment can be placed in a Dropbox that you have linked to my account (teacherhaywood@gmail.com), or sent to my email, printed, or brought to class on a flashdrive. BUT, it must be completed before Thursday when class begins.
In addition, Periods 1 and 5 should have completed the worksheet for Activity 3, the Supply and Demand Schedule before the beginning of class. Period 3 students who complete BOTH the Current Event AND the worksheet will earn double credit!
Below is what happened when I searched the Google Books site for a book on equilibrium
Dull and even boring perhaps, but I found this after just a few seconds of searching. Just remember to include 2 ERP's in your narrative summary about what you have read.
This is what happened when I searched for "sovereign debt crisis" on Amazon.com. Be sure to look for a book that shows the "Look Inside" arrow and you can read at least 5 to 10 pages of the book.
