Economics current event                                                                                               period             

 

Take a section of the newspaper and scan it for news about business or the economy.  For example, look for articles about businesses that are doing well or that are failing.  Look for information about money the government is spending or new taxes being proposed.  Look for anything that affects our economy.  (Make sure that the article is several paragraphs long – not one of those one-paragraph blurbs that does not go into any detail.) 

 

Read the entire article.  Then on this paper (IN INK) or typed, write the answers to the following questions.  YOUR WRITING SHOULD BE IN PARAGRAPH FORM, WITH COMPLETE SENTENCES!  When you turn in the assignment, you should staple the article to your paper, so I know what you read. 

 

       Summarize the article – what is it about?

       What do you think about the events or actions taken in the article?

       What do you think will happen next regarding this issue or event?
