Economics, Test Two

Howdy Kids! Hope you had fun with the Supply and Demand Game!

For the second economics test we will be covering the following topics!

1) Supply, Law of Supply, Types of Good (Inferior, Normal, Complementary, Subsitute) Supply Schedules, Supply Curves.
2) Demand, Law of Demand, Elasticity of Demand, Demand Schedules, Demand Curves
3) Supply and Demand (together), Equillibrium.

The test will be developed by YOU.

Each student must contribute at least three multiple choice and one short answert question in a response to the blog comment. (For you newbs, That means click on 'Post a Comment' to submit your test questions.)

A very high percentage of the test questions will be taken from your submitted questions.

Also, include the answers to your questions, so you can help each other STUDY!

This will count as 25% of your test grade!

From time to time, in Economics I will ask you to take a screen-capture shot and post it to your blog.

This would be helpful for activities like yesterday's production possibilities group project.

Here are the steps to post a screen-capture shot to your blogs.

1) Have the screen you want to capture active, so you can see it.

2) Hit the CTRL Button and the Print Scrn Button at the same time. This place a capture of your screen on your clipboard.

3) Go to your Blog site. Sign in and hit new post. Include any text with your post.

4) Click the add image button in the post editor.

5) In the pop up window hit BROWSE... then select the image you just saved.

6) Hit upload image.

That's it! It takes a little practice and it's not as complicated as it seems.

ECONOMICS Blog

We will be using blogger to reflect on some topics in economics this semester.

Most blog related assignments will be posted on http://webclass.painesville-city.k12.oh.us/econ.htm .

However, there may be times when I post a blog entry here and I ask you to respond in the comments.

Your first task is to use Blogger to set up an economics blog. Add some appropriate clip art and then complete the first blog assignment as noted on http://webclass.painesville-city.k12.oh.us/econ.htm answer. Once you set up your blog, let me know so I can follow your entries.
