Macro Project Instructions
You have picked a number that will place you in a group of three members. Your number corresponds to one of the projects below. Today you will be researching the topic online. The rest of the week you will be working outside of class to complete the project. On Friday we will randomly choose the first group to present. We should be able to have three presentations on Friday the 27th, and the remaining two on Monday the 30th.
Use the databases first for your research. The articles are concise and correct. You should also check out the Federal Reserve site at http://www.stlouisfed.org/education_resources/highschool/ Do not copy and paste. I can tell and this is not the right time for that. You will earn a zero on the project, and I will submit the Academic Integrity paperwork to your guidance counselor. This material is also in your textbook.
For each group there are three components to submit.
1- An interesting and comprehensive presentation with graphics and a works cited slide. (emailed before class, or shared in Google Docs)
2 - A lesson on completing the appropriate activity (I will give you those)
3 - A 5-8 question Kahoot ready for the class to play.
