This week
We finally began our last big unit this week as students began studying Macroeconomics. So far, we have talked about GDP, inflation/consumer price index, and taxes. I have also graded and entered into ProgressBook students' scores for their budgets and their budget essays. For the most part students did a great job on this and learned some valuable personal finance skills. I'd encourage you to talk more with them about their future career aspirations and how they want to further their own education after graduating from DRSS.
Upcoming Week
Next week students will continue our study of macroeconomics as we explore macroeconomic indicators like unemployment and balance of payments. After our third test (which will take place sometime towards the end of this week or the next week), we will conclude the content side of the class and students will finish up the year by working intensively on the DRSS Local Economics Podcast Project. Please check out the Facebook page to learn more about this project and if you or someone you know may be interested in being interviewed for it, please fill out this form.
Have a great weekend, and don't forget there is a PD day for teachers next Monday, so no school for students!
