I am postponing all of the assignments below until further notice. New Assignment Follows:
March 24 - April 6: You may redo any/all of your IA commentaries. These need to be turned in as soon as possible, but as soon as possible with considerable attention given to them. These need to be submitted by April 6.
Here is what you need to do:
Everyone
Take your three best commentaries
(I will look at new ones if you need me to),
Make a clean copy (since IB will be grading them, we do not want any of my critique marks on them)
add a completed coversheet and the article
(highlight long articles, but it would be better to use short articles (see tips below)),
place all in a .pdf file (1 single file)
named first initial_last name_econ_portfolio.pdf
with all pages orientated correctly making it easy for the IB grader,
and email the whole file to me before April 6.
The order goes like this:
Portfolio cover sheet
1st commentary cover sheet
1st article
1st commentary
2nd commentary cover sheet
2nd article
2nd commentary
3rd commentary coversheet
3rd article

Headlines: This link leads to an RSS feed that has many news articles to begin. But you do not want articles that have already done the economic work for you. There will be little to analyze.
**Also - use short articles! That way you can squeeze every bit of economic analysis out of it.

Postponed until further notice
March 16: Work on your IA redos. Please submit these by Monday at 10:00am.
March 18: Work on your IA redos. (Please revise them - proof read, make strong sentences). Email them including the cover sheet and article (in one .pdf by Wednesday at 3:00).
ZOOM meeting to answer any questions from seniors - Wednesday, March 18, 10:30
March 20: Make significant progress on Graphathon
March 24: Using the Kognity online textbook, work on the 160-question Developmental Unit Assessment. This open book assignment will be due on April 24.
Treat this assignment as an Open Book Exam. I believe it will be much more beneficial to approach the Developmental unit this way rather than taking notes from the book. (Of course you still can take notes).
Also - Note the link to review videos above the assignments.
March 26: Make significant progress on Graphathon
March 30: Work on Kognity online assessment.
April 1: Make significant progress on your Graphathon.
April 3: Work on Kognity online assessment.
