MONOPOLY+RESOURCES


 * During the upcoming week, we will be introducing Imperfect Competition, specifically the MONOPOLY GRAPH. In order to not fall terribly behind, I STRONGLY recommend you take the time to work through each of these lessons. While going through the powerpoint(s) I have posted on the wiki might be helpful, without my explanation and class discussion, some of it may be difficult to really work with. Because of this, I found some very good resources for you to substitute. Below, I have listed the three most important sections to understand relating to monopoly. Each section has a short video lecture (8-13 minutes each). There is also a link to the actual powerpoint slides that go with the video (in case printing them is beneficial). Lastly, there is a problem set for each topic (just like we have used in past units.**

Note: It is likely that other smaller topics may be covered while you are away... but if you are able to keep up on this monopoly content, by getting caught up on the small stuff will be MUCH more manageable. By the time you return, we will be starting to move on to other topics such as chapter 11 (oligopoly, monopolistic competition), and effects of excise tax/subsidy, therefore it is very important you work through as much of this as possible while you are away, to minimize confusion, and maximize your upcoming test scores.

What you should do to keep up: (1) READ chapter 10 in your AP Achiever book (2) for EACH of the three lessons below ... watch the video clip, repeating and/or referring back to the AP Achiever book as needed, then when you feel you understand the basic concepts presented, work through the connected problem sets. (3) Jot down any questions you have, or things you would like to go over in the margins. (4) bring your completed problem sets when you return to class (5) plan to come in during homeroom or after school as needed to review the material and ask questions (since time will be limited during class, since we'll likely be introducing new topics.
 * I cannot emphasize enough how important understanding this chapter is for scoring well on the AP exam. Except for possibly the Perfectly competitive graph, this is the graph that will be tested more than any other in the course. ***
