Economic Development

Last week, Mrs. Salas (our student teacher), began discussing economic development.  Students began working through a lesson to evaluate the economic development in Latin America.  This week the students will work in their group to developed a wall matrix about their assigned country.  I will post pictures of the wall matrixes at the end of the week.  We will also have a MAJOR test on Friday.  Mrs. Salas will develop a jeopardy game for students to study Thursday night.  It will be posted to my website. 

STUDENTS...we have been talking about economics for the past couple of weeks.  In Mrs. Ford's class you are researching a country and writing a paper about the country's economic system.  If you have Mrs. Ward you will begin this assignment this week.  I will award EXTRA CREDIT to those individuals who write a short post about their country.  I want to know the country's name and basic information about the country's economic situation. 

EcOnOmIcS!

This six weeks is all about economics!  Last Monday, when we began discussing economics we asked the students what they thought it meant.  Many students said money and a few said TROUBLE! 

The students will be learning about each type of economic system.  This week they will be watching a short clip from SHARK TANK and then developing a product with their table mates to present the the "Sharks" (the other students).  This will give them the experience of a free enterprise system! 

I have embedded the clip below!  I hope to see you all at open house!
