Market minute instructions:
Each class period in Economics will start with a market minute. Two students will be assigned each day on a rotating basis to present a quick synopsis of the stock markets major indicators (Dow Jones Industrial Average -DJIA, National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation - NASDAQ, and Standard & Poor 500 - S&P 500) from the previous day (Mondays report will be from Fridays closing). Students should give the markets closing numbers, tell whether each indicator went up or down, and give a brief reason why the markets reacted as they did (e.g. all the markets were down due to the price of a barrel of oil rising $2.00 per barrel).
Each of the assigned students will also present an economic current event that was found in a recent newspaper, magazine, journal, or on the web. The student should give a one minute summary of the article, explaining its economic significance. The assigned students will be responsible to turn in a copy of the article and the written summary (approximately -1 page long written or typed). Students must include their name, date of the assignment, where the article was found, and the date of the article. Students must also include a MLA format works cited
