Try it Again: Economics

The red marks are missed questions.

Goal: Try again to learn about economic systems (in a slightly different way)

Agenda: 
Journal
CNN 10
Formative Reading
Google Form
Visual Representation

1. Journal 
In your own words, define the following terms: communism, socialism, and capitalism.

2. CNN 10 

If you can get the computer/projector working, you can watch CNN 10. 

3. Reading About Economic Systems 

• Yesterday you read about economic systems, but nobody got every question correct. 
• That's fine - the questions were hard. (But these are things you need to know so we're reading it again today) 
• You are going to read again as a team and answer the SAME questions as yesterday, this time on a Google Form
• This link takes you to yesterday's formative reading.
• This link takes you to a Google Docs copy of the reading (use this one today)

4. Team Google Form 

• I want you to try again with the Formative reading questions, but this time do them as a team on a Google Form. 
• Submit one per team. 
• I'm hoping that putting your heads together will give better results than the formative reading yesterday. 
• I will give you the higher score for your grade (either from yesterday or today.)
• You can access the Google Form HERE. 

5. Visual Representation

• Your job is to create a visual representation with your group for your assigned economic system. 
• Blue table: capitalism
• Yellow table: socialism
• Green table: communism
• Purple table: capitalism 
• Similar parameters to last time you created group visuals: 
• Write your economic system in big letters
• Make sure all of your names are on the front or back (somewhere)
• Use up as much space as possible (even more than last time) 
• Brief description and key words from the reading
• You will present these to the class when I'm back tomorrow. 

Reminders: 

I will be back tomorrow. Get ready to present your visuals!
