1. Micro: This is the collection of chapters that focus on the smaller parts of the economy. Each chapter includes a direct teaching component, videos from the PPT, lessons, and quizzes that go with each chapter. With each chapter, I typically use Mondays for Current Events and then spend 3 days of the week on the teaching and Fridays is for quizzes and working on projects or books that are being read.
2. Macro: This is a collection of chapters dealing with the chapter as a whole. Each chapter includes a direct teaching component, videos from the PPT, lessons, and quizzes that go with each chapter. With each chapter, I typically use Mondays for Current Events and then spend 3 days of the week on the teaching and Fridays is for quizzes and working on projects or books that are being read.
**Some chapters do not have quizzes or tests or even lessons as I do not focus on those chapters as time is very limited.
3. Semester Final: Includes review sheet and final and review sheet.
4. Econ Daily Lecture / Activities – This is a very simple version of the Micro/Macro activities from above. There is a PDF version of the book with this in case you want to pursue this for a simple version of economics. I would consider doing this with a workshop or Special Ed class.
