Economics: Today in Economics we applied what we learned about the meaning of economics. We finished up couch potatoes (where was about nature of the concepts in real world context) and I clarified questions related to the graphic organizer from chapter 1 section 1 and 2. I don't see you until Wednesday due to the MME, but we will be sure to go over the Cornell notes at that time. For Wednesday: 1. review chapter 1,section 1, in particular the meaning of all of the concepts and how they fit into the graphic organizer. 2. Review couch potato and finish G-N questions, 3. Complete the activity ASSESSING Opportunity costs. I will collect this on Wednesday. Key ideas and concepts: Choice, costs, benefits, opportunity cost, scarcity, limited and unlimited resources, incentives, consequences... These are all the meanings behind the definition of ECONOMICS. (If you were absent today, go to the website obtain the assessing opportunity cost handout.
