Extra Credit due by Monday at 8:00am by clicking this link!
Some previous assignments you may have missed are indicated below.
Complete a minimum of 60 minutes additional work on the Gen I Revolution financial literacy website and accumulate points for completing the missions.
Some students may have been absent the day we were in the Tech Lab last and need to create their account. It is important for Period 2 students to use Class Code ce6790 when establishing a new account. Ask a fellow student for assistance if need be.
Please see the substitute teacher for the list of student usernames for these periods. If you are completely unable to login to your existing account then you will have to make a new account. ALL STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO FINISH ONE MISSION TODAY!
Table leaders that finish should login to stockmarketgame.com and invest your REMAINING monies in new stocks, following the same rules we have used – stock purchase of 100 shares minimum, no stock selling for under $5 per share nor more than $250 per share (you’ll get locked-out and be unable anyway). Perhaps learn about “selling a stock short”and place an order to sell a stock you feel might lose value short. For instance, I have a teacher account and I sold JCPenney short yesterday, meaning my position is that I sold it for $20.21 and I am hoping the stock will LOOSE value between now and April when I can buy it for less than $20.00, say $18.00 a share. If that happens, I will earn a profit on the difference between what I sold it for and what I bought it for ($2.00 per share)
Many of your trades from Tuesday did not happen. Either table leaders did not execute the trades, or there was some kind of error. In either case, please spend some time today and try to use your remaining funds for investments. We will go over your strategies on Tuesday.
Some older assignments many of you have not yet finished are below:
Assignment to discover what you can learn about Economics using the Internet –
Write one page ONLY, including the URL link to the source of your finding about a subject, topic, or concept in Economics that you researched using the Internet. This could be a blog, Youtube video, khanacademy.org video, economics-themed or financial literacy themed website such as www.fool.com, or other source such as ITunes University.
The point is to discover FREE resources using the technology most of you have at home and learn about economics in a way that is different from how we learn in the classroom. I realize some students will have to utilize our school library, CSUN, or a public library to complete this assignment and that is why I limited it to only ONE page, not two-sided, and NOT on more than one piece of paper. For students thatmissed the original deadline last week (periods 1 and 5), you may earn 55% credit by completing an EXEMPLARY job in the tech lab on Friday, Feb. 22. Try saving your assignment to an electronic locker such as Edline.net or a cloud like dropbox or Google Drive. Then send an email or invite me to view your assignment at teacherhaywood@gmail.com
Additionally, due over a week ago -

Mr. Haywood, this is a great assignment. I have been thinking a lot about songs that can be used to teach economics and I was wondering if "Money" by Pink Floyd would be a good choice. I bet it is because one of the lyrics is "Share it fairly
But don't take a slice of my pie". Is this the same as our progressive income tax system. I bet it is.
I think I can really learn a lot through the economic activity we had today. Music has been a way to communicate societies problems as well as their economical situations, I feel that by listening to music from the past and presentt we can learn much about how our economy has progressed and/or stayed the same. - DANIELLE GARCIA DE ALBA C:

We can learn about Economics through the internet by playing educational games online that teach us about economics like how interest works or what and we should invest our money. Also during class we can videos on youtube describing some of the units we will be learning and take notes as well.
There are multiple ways we can learn economics through the internet including watching a movie or listening to a song like the Adele song we heard last semester
There are multiple strategies as to how we can learn economics.one would be by watching a movie, it gives us a visual on economics. another can be listening to a song, it gives us a way that music can be about economics.
hey mr. haywood i think the song Billionaire by Bruno Marz the reason why is because it talks about how everyone is fasinated with money and it relates to many people that all they want is to have alot of money and it is goes with the econmic principales.

HiMr Haywood
Economy is everywhere and an example could be anything of value to someone used to trade for something of equal value to the other. In television there is "two broke girls" and plenty other examples of people living with the economy.
We can perhaps learn more about economics by watching either a video or a movie that shows us some economic situations. Music can really be a good thing to use listen to messages from old and new songs. - Edwin Ruiz.
Hello Mr. Haywood. This is a cool blog spot. There is a lot to learn about the economic concepts and how the economy works. It is also a great career to pursue. -Maria Maximo Period 2
