Oh, lovgubbers. It has been quite a while since my last post... and so much has happened. My radio silence is due to my yearly diversion into my own version of March Madness... Research papers. I finished grading my 125 10-page papers in less than two weeks, and then needed a BREAK. But learning and teaching continued despite this interlude... And while I was grading, I was also teaching Monetary and Fiscal Policy. So, I primarily rounded this up digitally. I used a blendspace activity for both lessons. While this is repetitive in terms of presentation, which I really don't like to do, this unit is constantly in flux. Having the ability to change my presentation each year as necessary is really helpful, and blendspace is super easy to share. Here is my fiscal policy blendspace: (I really like the first video; it is a great hook. The concluding video is for kids who are not in class the day I show the full length movie. IOUSA is going on 8 years old; it is really informative and shocking to see how off the figures they site are!) And here is my monetary policy unit. It is an adaptation of a couple of lessons created by the fed reserve, and is really helpful. Additionally, I do have my kids listen to the interview of Neil Irwin... it is great to put some of this information in context.

AuthorI lovgov. LOVE IT! I love teaching government, learning about it, debating, discussing, asking questions about government. And not the standard boiler plate questions, but the hard ones that are NOT in the books. Archives
