Types of Economies

Hello! Today we did a simulation called Cobb/Hogue Cool Catz Company where students experienced 3 types of economies: market, command, and mixed. Students then took some quick notes on each type from a power point. They also viewed a quick video clip about them which added a fourth, traditional. (posted) Students then were able to look at their country and determine which type it was. Some classes had a little time to research their country. Students MUST find a current event article and bring to class tomorrow. You can clip it from the newspaper or print it off from the internet. Some groups will be ready for this 4 big idea tomorrow as we will be researching all class in the IMC.
