I suggest you read Chapter 10 in the book!

POST 10 - React to reading: What do you think macroeconomics will be all about?  What interests you about this topic? List three things you hope to learn!

POST 11 - Using the 4x3technique. 3 rules and 4 ingredients create a recipe or math formula that explains how GDP is calculated!

POST 12 - write a letter to the editor why the GDP is a faulty indicator – suggest other indicators (GNP, NNP etc)

POST 13 - Practice quizzes!   Explain the 10 things you learned or things that got "cleared up for you"

POST 14 - Reaction to a youtube video – “My Humps” and the Business Cycle Rap Then watch this Qwiki Find a link to a better video or website for Business cycles.  Was the video helpful or silly?  Which source was more useful why?

POST 15 - find and react to a list of leading/coincident/lagging indicators.  Pick the top 3 in each category.

POST 16 - Create any visual that you think may be helpful on the Chapter 10 test!  Be Creative
