Another Post-Snowzilla Update

Growing up in New England, I always had a week off of school in February.  Consider the past week an early "February Break".

ECON: I'm following the letter of the law, so we will NOT be having the AD/AS exam on your first day back.  Instead, we'll be starting material from Chapter 10 of your textbook on unemployment and inflation.  THEREFORE, your homework for Tuesday is to read and take notes on Tragakes pages 265-274.  Your AD/AS exam will be on Thursday, February 4th.

HOA: We'll pick up where we left off: Reconstruction presentations.  All groups must be ready to present on the first day back from the Snowzilla holiday.  Share your presentation and review sheet with me on GoogleDrive - they'll be shared with the class on this website.  Presentation grades will be entered into the 3rd quarter gradebook.  There will be no semester exam.

TOPICS: We have at least two more Mao Domestic Policies presentations to cover in class.  All groups should be prepared to present on Tuesday and should share their presentation on the class wiki by Monday evening.  I haven't made a final decision about the scheduling of your next essay.

I hope to see you all in school on Friday.

Great Article on Slate

Slate has a great article this morning on the coin crisis in Argentina. It seems that the Argentine public doesn't believe that there are enough coins in circulation and so have begun hoarding the coins that they can find.
