My Project

My students are engaged and curious about the world around them. When they go to my classroom, it offers them the opportunity to engage in discussion and meaningful activities. The school demographics have become more diverse and many of the students come to school with various degrees of background knowledge and learning styles. Therefore, I want to use various engaging and interactive methods to teach students about economics.

Economics is an important subject for students to take in high school in order to understand the world around them and the impact the choices they make have.

Economics is a challenging yet rewarding class for many. I want to find more engaging ways for students to enjoy learning about economics which includes using this game to highlight various topics we learn about throughout the semester.
