Activity #1: Textbook Reading
Read Chapter 1 of your Economics Today textbook.
- Take notes on your reading. Use whatever style of notes is most useful to you or you might try the Thieves strategy, which works well for non-fiction texts like your econ book.
- Answer the questions from the reading worksheet.
- Do the on-line practice quiz for Chapter 1 from the Economics Today website to see how well you understood the material. Go back to your reading for concepts you missed.
- Now take the true-false quiz I designed to see how well you understood Chapter 1 from your textbook. When you have completed your quiz, grade yourself by looking at the quiz key.
- Reflect on your reading. Do you need to spend more time with your reading? Do you need to take better notes or were you successful the first time through?
