★ FAQS ★

♦ Q: My school discourages me from using the number of copies I need to make interactive notebooks.

♦ A: No worries! It's super easy to use the EDITABLE resources digitally--just insert them into Slides with ONE click! I even show you how. (Psst...most of the resources are editable.) Also, all of the daily activities are broken into small PDFs perfect for posting and using digitally with DocHub or Kami.

♦ Q: I only have one semester to teach economics on the traditional schedule. Will this resource work for me?

♦ A: The short answer is, “yes.” I would keep the foundational assignments (bellringers, exit tickets, presentations, notes, gallery walks, reinforcement activities) and cut out most of the projects and simulations. 

♦ Q: I noticed that your daily lesson plans are designed for the block schedule. I teach on traditional. Will this work for me?

♦ A: Yes! It's super-easy to modify them for traditional. I give you instructions on how to do it quickly! 

★ What Teachers Like You Said…★

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Danielle N. said, "Amazing helpful resource. It was a fun unit to teach and the students were very engaged." 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doris M. said, "My school fully provides the curriculum for all subject areas, but we are encouraged to supplement where we see a need. The Economics curriculum is dry and quite dull. I love Leah's work. It is engaging for students. Information is presented in different formats, and students are able to show their understanding in different formats! This is a great resource (her history resources are great too)!" 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mollie Spurlock said, "My students are loving these notebooks! I used them for our first 2 units!" 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brian T. said, "Great resource, I have the Intro to Econ and Micro unit bundles as well. Macro includes another project similar to the "Tour a Nation's Economy" project at the end of the Intro unit that works really well when you want to invite an administrator in to see what you've been doing this year and to complete an observation. Admin really likes to see the students working together on a project with a clear rubric (which this includes) and then get up and present their work to the class. The daily lesson plans are clear and well-organized ... I am very pleased with my purchase!" 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Create Purposeful Learning said, "What a great product! I love the different ways students are given information (presentation, movie clips, webquests, scavenger hunts). I like the little flip books, as it's a great way to put the learning into real-life application. Great product!"
