Today students read a short article called "On Paleolithic Politics." Students were asked to describe the premise of the article in a 10-word sentence. Students then shared their sentences.
Students then tried to grapple with why we chose to stray from early economies to more complex structures like capitalism (for example).
Students then took notes on the four systems of economies most practiced today: traditional, capitalist, command, and mixed.
Students then again tried to decide (with much debate) what would make them most happy. We came back to the same question that has been asked since the first day they came into my classroom. Why are we here?
Students were then given some time to work on their stocks in How The Market Works.Com.
