State of the Economy Draft

If you don’t start now, you will procrastinate until the end of the term to work on this project!  The draft is worth 15 points and is my way of incentivizing you to slowly work on this project throughout the semester rather than waiting until the last minute.

Earning full credit is easy…

Step 1: Set up your document.  You can use Word,  Google Docs, or Pages.  Use the outline provided and copy/paste it into your document. 

Step  2:  Create a title page.

Step 3: Create a Works Cited  page (that way it is easy to fill in your sources as you work on the project).

Step 4:  We have already learned about GDP, Economic Growth, Unemployment and Inflation, so those sections should be relatively easy to write!  In fact, you will notice that you might already addressed the questions in the outline during our weekly discussions.  Delete the outline as you develop the paragraphs for each section.  Your paper will flow smoothly from one paragraph to the  next when you are done.

Step 5: Don’t worry!  It’s only March!!  You have time to work on this.  Don’t stress about complete sentences and making it perfect, it is a DRAFT 🙂

Step 6:  Save your file and click the “Submit” red button in the upper right corner.  I will give you some feedback and encouragement within a few days.
