Economics - Final Extra Credit

Beginnning May 12th and lasting until the morning of your specific Final Exam, I will post three Extra Credit opportunities for three weeks. Each assignment you choose to complete is equal to one-third of one-third of the Final Exam points, or 25 points total. The Final Exam is worth 75 Points. If you would like to check your current grade (through week 16 only) go to the Grades page on the NAHS website.

Each of the three opportunities are similar to the "Events" in that you should be investing about two hours completing each part.

Part I - Go to our textbook Publisher's website and search the Chapter Activities Section for StudentWeb Activities. Review a chapter you are interested in and follow the directions of the Student Web Activity. NOTE: Some of the links are broken in these activities, when that happens, you have two choices. 1) Abandon that activity because the link is broken, or 2) search for a suitable link through your favorite search engine and attempt to replicate the intent of the assignment.

Each activity requires you to complete a few questions and E-mail me your response at teacherhaywood@gmail.com . The image below shows the screen prior to submitting your answers.

Then, complete additional research using the Internet to learn more about a topic within your Web Activity and write a 750 word document on what you learned. Include reference links to document your research. You may either compose your document using Google Docs and invite me to view it (teacherhaywood@gmail.com) or print the document using Word and turn it in.

All work must be completed prior to the end of the following week, which means the first opportunity is due Friday, May 20th.

An example might be Chapter 15, The Fed and Monetary Policy. In this chapter you will learn about the Federal Reserve and its importance to our economy. Once you complete the Web Activity, you could choose a current event about recent happenings with the Fed, such as interest rates, current monetary policy, or perhaps the margin requirements.

If you would like to speak with me about a specific area of interest, I am in Room 427 every morning at 7:00 am. Or, you may post a comment below.
