1. Chapters 4-6 Test is Tues. (Ch. 4-6 Warm-ups due on Tues.)
ECONOMICS: September 27
Warm-up: Graph how the following headlines will affect the S curve. (1) “Robots Make Automobile Assembly Faster, Cheaper.” How will this impact the S curve for cars? (2) “Fire Destroys Thousands of Acres of Forest in Pacific Northwest.” How will this impact the S curve for lumber from Oregon? Learning Target: In order to better understand how prices affect the marketplace, I will be able to explain the concept of market equilibrium. I will know I have it when, on a S and D graph, I can show: (1) market equilibrium; (2) a shortage; (3) a surplus; and (4) a change in equilibrium P and Q due to changes in S and D.
--voluntary exchange in a market economy leads to compromise -market equilibrium graph!; surplus and shortage (trial and error to get rid of); Equilibrium, Surplus, and Shortage (begin at 2:50); possibilities: D increase; D decrease; S increase; S decrease Closure: Based on your knowledge of the S & D curve shifters, determine some additional possible reasons for the curve shifts (see bottom of today’s HO)
Assignment: read Ch. 6, Lesson 3
