Middle of February!

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!  Wow - another 4 day week is upon us!  Unfortunately I will not be here in class today.  I am on a college field trip with the Sophomores!  That means that for those of you who are due to present your factors of production posters today, you get one more day to make sure you are totally prepared!  Remember, this week is the last week of presentations so if you have not presented yet, this is YOUR week!!!

Today, I would like for you to find an article online that relates to economics.  This could be an article about housing prices, inflation, how the Olympics economically impact the host nation, etc, etc.  Really, your job is to report on the following:

1. Give a detailed 5-7 sentence summary of the article you have just chosen and read.
2. Explain in 5-7 sentences what economic affect this issue has on the world or the area it is directly affecting
3. Explain in 5-7 sentences how this issue either currently affect (or could affect) you, your family or community and express the importance of people knowing about this topic.

Once you have completed this current event and posted it to your blog, please go through each and every assignment posted for you to complete on Schoology so far this semester and ensure you have submitted it.  This week on the block day, in addition to our factors of production posters, we will continue our work in our JA Finance Park workbook.  Please be sure to bring that to class on the block day!!

Thank you and see you Tomorrow (or Thursday)!
