On this we talked investing and insurances.  We did a project on Powtoons with investing.  We can invest CD's, mutual funds, bonds, stocks, and reals estate.  Later we talked about insurances. There are life insurance, health insurance, major medical, and homeowners insurance. Life insurance is good because you leave money when yiy die. Homeowners insurance is the best because it protects all your possessions.

This week was good.  On Monday we got to play the game of Life because the juniors were gone.  On Tuesday, some people were on a field trip, so the rest of the class got to watch a video about credit cards and credit card businesses. On Wednesday we talked about the video and started a classwork exercise about phones and compared them to each others.  I chose the iPhone 4s because it was only 99 cents and a $100 plan.

This week we started personal finance.  On Monday and Tuesday we finished up our Wiki pages.  The project was okay, some parts where hard to explain.  On Wednesday we officially tarted personal finance and we actually get to earn money and spend it.  Also we watched an interesting video about money and how they make it and the stuff they put in to the money to make it nearly impossible to fake. On Thursday we talked about about. Money is any good that is widely accepted for the purposes of exchange and in the repayment of debts. And we learned the three functions of money and the characteristics of it.

This week was pretty good.  We learned a lot about inflation and deflation.  We talked about the Great Depression and the causes of it.  There isn't one set reason for why the Great Depression happened but it mainly had to do with bad banking skills and WW1.  Also we learned about the business cycle.  On Thursday we talked about International trade.  We went over the pros and cons of it.  I am for international trade because it brings other cultures to other cultures.

This week was pretty good.  This week we restarted our semester because we had mid-terms last week. One Monday we talked about competition. One example of competition is Perfect competition which includes five main things which are:
*numerous buyers and sellers
*Independent buyers and sellers
*Well-informed buyers and sellers
*Freedom to enter and exit the market
*Standardized products
Also we learned about Oligopoly, Monopolistic Competition, and Monopolies.  Oligopoly is where there are 4 or so companies that dominate that market.  Whereas a Monopoly is where one company dominates the whole market for that one product.

This week was pretty good.  It was shortened because of our field trip.  This week we mainly talked about supply.  Such as the Law of Demand, Supply Schedules,  and the three cost category.   There are several factors that shift curves such a as input costs, labor productivity, technology, government actions, producers expectations, and number of producers. The field trip on Wednesday. We got to see and touch a few animals. The live animals were a possum, snake, lizard, owl, and rabbit. Also it was fun because we got to go home at 1:30.

This week was good.  One Monday we were faced in creating advertisements for Weserville.  We had to do a 30 second TV ad, 30 second radio commercial and a half page newspaper article.  Benjamin Bradberry, i thought, did a great job making the script for the radio commercial.  My group did a Powtoons for our TV ad.  Powtoons is great because it is pretty easy to edit it and make it flow pretty well and is more interactive than a PowerPoint.  Hopefully, on Friday, everyone will show up with everything finished.
