Period 6: Demand, Day 5

This is the room inside Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where the Constitution was created amid much debate and discussion. Sort of like class today!

Hi everyone,

Not a whole lot to recap from today, since it was almost entirely a discussion about the answers to the Chapter 3 test on demand. I will try anyway!

Soundtrack: "At Last" by Etta James. Selected because this is my last week as a long term substitute here at Westview this year. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 4/24/13:
Warm Up
Chapter 3 Test Review
Merchants of Cool

Homework: Check the blog! Your work for notebook check #3 was due to be turned in today in class.
---
Warm Up: #18 in your notebook. Why do many taxi drivers quit early on rainy days? - Quotas! Opportunity costs!

Chapter 3 Test Review: This took FOREVER. I felt under siege as a teacher at some points. I think we eventually cleared most of the answers up, but I do have to go back and give more credit if we agreed upon it. I am sorry to everyone that had a hard time staying engaged while many in the class felt the need to shout out answers and rationale.


Merchants of Cool: At the end of class, we began to watch the PBS Frontline documentary "Merchants of Cool" - we will keep going with this next class. Here is the worksheet to download (finish the first three questions if you missed class):


See you on Friday, for my last class as your official teacher! :-)
