Assignment:
Write an essay analyzing one of the books off of the given list. Your essay must be five paragraphs minimum and about 3 pages long. For your essay you should select a topic of economics (incentives, short term vs. long term thinking, opportunity costs, rationality, cost benefit analysis, marginal thinking, competition, specialization, and advantages of trade are all options) and explain how it affects your world. If you read your book and want to pursue another theme discuss it with me first.
Your paper will have three main parts:
-Explain your topic in detail and how it was used in the book by the author.
-Give several examples of this topic that were used in the book.
-Relate the topic to your life in some way.
If you have a rough draft you would like for me to read they should be turned in by January 10th.
This essay will be graded on all of the elements of quality writing. Grammar will only be counted against if it interferes with the understanding of your paper. I DO NOT want a walkthrough of the book. From a reading of your paper it should be clear that you read the book, but I want you to write what I've asked you to write.
Failure to complete this essay by the deadline will result in a failing grade for the 4th six weeks. Unsatisfactory papers will be given back, minus a letter grade, and given an additional week for you to make it satisfactory.
