Summary: Weekly outline for teaching Microeconomics.

This week I covered Morton activities, 13, 14, 15, 15, 17, and 18 in microeconomics. I use Virtual Economics for easy electronic access to the activities. I have found that the discussion on each activity reinforces the textbook concepts. As a wrap-up to Activity 15, Demand and Marginal Utility, I explain marginal decision making. A pencast of my wrap-up is here. If you use Capstone: Exemplary Lessons for High School Economics, Unit 4, Lesson 23, "Do the Math" emphasizes using marginal decision making in all activities.

What acronyms do you use to help students remember demand and supply shifters? In the next blog, I'll tell you mine.
