Vocabulary Econ 106

Need to cut down the number of vocabulary words from the novel? Should I stick to the Econ words? Or keep al the words?
I worry that I will lose the better students but at the same time I worry about students who are not readers. I am leaning toward letting English teachers worry about the reading skills of the students and stick to the economics.

Econ 106 novel

Taking a chance on using a novel for Econ 106. I have created a list of vocabulary words from the reading of the first chapter . The concept is to use vocabulary quizzes and comprehension questions. The next step is to create the comprehension questions needed.

Restarting this Blog



After a long time, 3 to 4 years, I have decided to get this blog rolling again. I hope to put down my observations and attempts at making Economics fun and understandable for my students. Also I will post my failures to communicate basic economic concepts. This is not an economics blog but a blog about teaching the Dismal Science better known as Economics.
