October Journeyman Class

                   

               Eureka October Journeyman Class

   
                 Hey guys! I am really excited to get to do Journeyman with you this year.  We are studying economics. It is going to be a lot of fun!

          Study and Learn:  

                - Read the first four chapters of Whatever Happened to Penny Candy (pages 18-38)  Spend some time thinking about these chapters. If you don't know a word look it up. Really study these principles. Your knowledge is going to come in handy. We will be doing a simulation, possibly involving chocolate, and the more you know the better you will do.


                - Talk to your parents or grandparents about some of the things that they used to buy, that now cost more because of inflation. Come up with a list of 8 things and their prices.  Have fun with this. See if you can find out what changed the most.

             Know and Understand:  

                     Do one of the following.

                     

We do not have a lot of time in Journeyman and I want most of it to be used for the simulation, so instead of doing a full-on presentation I just want you to do a show and tell for us. You have about thirty seconds to tell us what you learned. Visual aids are appreciated.

                      - Prepare a 30-60 second Show & Tell about one of the stranger things that has been used as money over the years. Explain why it was considered valuable.

                    - Or prepare a Show & Tell on one of the principles taught in the book that stuck out to you. Tell us why.

   

            Become and Serve: 

               

                    - Journal about why Economics is important for us to learn and how the things you learn can affect you. 

                    - Or create an Economic acronym such as TAANSTAAFL ( There's No Such Thing As A Free Lunch ) Come prepared to share it and tell us how it can help you be smart when it comes to money.
