Motivation for the Week:
"Transformation is more about unlearning than learning. The challenge is using what we have learned and experienced to then transform."
- Mr. C

Agenda
All Classes
1) Bell Ringer

2) Awards Day

3) Equilibrium
Equilibrium is the intersection of buyers and sellers. That is supply and demand together create the price and therefore help people make decisions on what they will buy. We also worked on shifting supply and demand and determining the impact it will have on prices and quantity.

4) Circular Flow
Markets are what coordinates buyers and sellers. It may be a physical location, but is more likely virtual.

Motivation for the Week:
"There is no truth. There is only perception."
- Gustave Flaubert

Agenda
All Classes
1) Supply
Focused our attention on the Supply side of the equation today. We noted that the mechanics of Supply are the same as Demand, the difference is the concept. While it is easy to see how were are all active participants in Demand when we buy things, what is less familiar is our role in Supply when we provide things to the economy. What most people have to offer is labor in some way, but since we typically do not think of our labor in terms of Supply and Demand, it has been more abstract.


After looking at the PowerPoint about Supply, we went over the flowchart for figuring out which Determinant of Supply and may have begun filling in the chart for each Determinant and its impact on Supply.

Today was the big day for learning about demand.
