Economics Project Ideas

Your assignment today is to come up with a creative idea for students to learn a specific economic

concept (or book chapter).  For example, you may have students join a virtual stock market game where they buy imaginary stocks in a real company, then monitor the stock prices in a classroom competition.  You may have students create a virtual company with an imaginary (or real) product, and focus on improving sales or expanding their customer base.  You may want students to create a series of graphs demonstrating changes in a companies Production Possibility Frontiers.

You can either create your own or research interesting projects on the Internet.  Whichever you choose, just make sure it covers a topic in Economics (see your textbook) and it includes specific instructions that I [or another Economics teachers] could implement in future classes.

THIS PROJECT IS DUE FRIDAY AND COUNTS AS THE COURSE FINAL EXAM
