Week 3 of the Quarantine
1.Extra Credit Opportunity- The Economic Stimulus Package
3. Stock Market Project- What a roller coaster this semester has been for us. It the market was an actual roller coaster many of us would have thrown-up by now. Anyway, continue on with the project as scheduled; if you make any trades just record them and we will handle the signatures later.
4. If you have any questions or need help please do not hesitate to contact me. I am very, very bored.
5.Stay safe and stay healthy. I hope to see all of you sooner rather than later.

We will have a lot to do in the days after our return. Do not just take these two weeks as a bonus vacation. Upon our return we will move at a quicker pace in order to play catch up. Stay healthy and see you soon.
Week 3 of the Quarantine
1.Extra Credit Opportunity- The Economic Stimulus Package
- Let us take this unique situation we are all in and look at the federal government’s $2 trillion stimulus plan. We were at the beginning of our studies of Capitalism (Market) and Centrally Planned (Socialism) economies when the shutdown occurred.
- Go to my webpage and scroll down to the bottom to find a document that is entitled the Economic Stimulus package. If you have problems downloading the word document feel free to create your own version on Google docs.
- To receive extra credit you must send me a finished version of the document in which you answer all of the questions thoroughly and accurately by 3pm on Friday April 3rd. Only extenuating circumstances will allow for a project to be turned in late for credit. E-mail the finished product to [email protected]
- Cutting and pasting answers does not count. Plagiarism will not allow for extra credit to be accepted

First two weeks
Ever-fi
- This would be a great opportunity for those of you who have not finished this project to get it done.
- Upon our return I will not have much tolerance for those that have not finished this project (unless you have previously told me about internet issues at home). This project will be due shortly upon our return.
MarketWatch
- Continue to monitor your portfolio. If you make any trades you do not have to inform me via e-mail. We will work out the sales upon our return.
YouTube
- I encourage you to watch videos found on PragerU and from John Stossel that are related to our current unit over the quarantine.
- YES, I know the aforementioned channels tend to skew conservative. I challenge you to find liberal alternatives to those particular channels and watch them as well.
