This Week at SchoolhouseTeachers ~ Economics and This Day in History
I’d like to let Mike Sims tell you about his new unit in Economics on SchoolhouseTeachers.com:
‘We usually hope for fights to get settled, for the opposing sides to reconcile and quietly become friends. Yet, there are fights that don’t get resolved. Instead, an uppercut is followed by a haymaker. The opposing sides rejoin the battle and turn up the volume. Some of the most respected economists in the last 100 years have been stridently pro-intervention. Others have been just as respected but adamantly pro-market. Who’s correct? Will a deft government hand on the ship of state guide the economy through choppy waters or will it avoid dangers at sea by running the vessel aground? Economists go blow to blow on variations of this topic every day. Economics Fistfight will help you understand these topics and form your own opinions about who is, and who isn’t, winning the fight.”
Plus, all this month, This Day in History explores places from Quebec to Maldives, taking a closer look at the serious moments of history, such as the Battle of the Marne and the lighter moments such as Sugar Cookie Day! Join us for timelines, flashcards, living fiction, hands-on activities, upper grade options, and more!
