What did the Fed chief Say?
This weekend I was listening to the Motely fool show on NPR. They play this game called "What Did The Fed chief Say?"
They play a section of Greenspan testimony and ask the contestants (playing for fool caps) to translate his testimony into plain English.
I am doing something similar with Newspaper articles, but I think this method of playing testimonies and asking for translation will be better. Radio is a little old fashioned for this generation. This generation respond better to Television. So if I use video it might be easier for them to make the connection between what they are studying and the real world.
As a CSPAN junky I can record and edit for in class conversation.
