A major goal in this economics course will be to look at economics from a Real World perspective. Instead of seeing the subject from text only, it is important that we understand how economics affects us on a local, national, and international scale. In order to insure that this remains a course focus – we will spend most every Friday of the semester on Real World Economics. Our Friday presentations will stem from two separate types of assignments. Each of these assignments will come from current news sources. Real World Economics will constitute the 25% project portion of your 
Marking Period grade.
T – TEACHER Choice – Teacher will choose Economics based news article and provide questions to go with it. The assignment always includes a portion where students go onto the Internet to search. Assignments are due on Friday. Friday discussions will revolve around assigned news item.
