Economics - Final Extra Credit - Number 2

The second of three Extra Credit Assignments for 1/3 of the 25 points possible (8 points) is as follows;

At the front of the classroom under the white board are four stacks of Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition such as Teens and Alcohol, 25 Hottest Colleges, Black Eyed Peas. etc.

READ one of these editions and write a 750 word reflection on how you applied the Economic Reasoning Principles to articles that were in the edition you read. You should read the ENTIRE edition from COVER-TO-COVER!

Then, go online to the Classroom Edition-Students page and review this section for either an article or link that appeals to you. Read that article, or follow the link and write a 250 word reflection on what you learned.
Try to find something career related as you will be leaving high school in three weeks.

Your total output should result in 1000 words in a word or google document. Email the document to teacherhaywood@gmail.com or invite me to view your google doc at the same address.

This assignment is due by end-of-day Friday, May 27th.

The final third of three opportunities will be released this weekend for students motivated to complete all of the 25 points Extra Credit prior to the Memorial Day Weekend.
