Organising our work

This is a post about our review work on OCR Economics book. As long as David is not responding on our telephone calls, we (me, Mary and Bibi) have decided to divide all the work by ourselves to start it today. So read carefully, what you need to do:

Me:
Chapter 6: Externalities
Chapter 8: Government intervention and government failure
Chapter 16: The international Economy

Bibi:
Chaptr 3: The nature of supply
Chapter 10: Aggregate demand
Chapter 11: Aggregate supply and macroeconomic equillibrium

Nastya:
Chapter 1: Introducing economics
Chapter 4: Using the demand and supply model
Chapter 9: Measuring economic perfomance

Dima:
Chapter 12: Balance of payments and the exchange rate
Chapter 13: Macroeconomic policy objectives
Chapter 15: Macroeconomic policy instruments

Mary:
Chapter 2: The nature of demand
Chapter 5: Prices, resource allocation and market failure
Chapter 7: Other forms of market failure
Chapter 14: Economic growth

The cover must be designed by any student who studies ICT (Bibi, Mary or Anastasia)

What do you need to do with your chapters:
1. Read it carefully, write a detailed review.
2. A mind map on each chapter
3. Also you should put a vocabulary list on each chapter
4. Don't forget about book reviews!!!

Each of you must read the introduction and two reviews sections in this book. Index will be also useful for you. If you don't have this book, Mary has got one and Anastasia probably has it too.

deadline is Wednesday, by this day you should give your reviews to David and he will check it by Friday.

we meet tomorrow at 11 in new cafeteria. don't be late.

and a little notice in russian:
если опоздаете, вам будет фигово (русская и казахские девушки вас отпинают).

Anastasia said...

I can do the work I have to and bring it on Monday.

Anastasia said...

(or I can come a bit later)

Mary said...

as you wish, actually. we wanted to discuss some aspects of work and that's all.

This is superb stuff. I have also been making some plans today. When you have finished you will be very surprised and very very very pleased.

Two things:

1. Please do all your work on laptops - all the time

2. Please do all your work outside of lesson time

This is important - you'll see why later

Anastasia said...

I thought we'd be just working on our chapters. in this case I'd rather did it alone.

but if it's improtant i'll come

Mary said...

no, you can ask David or Dima, it's just organising.

Anastasia, it is very improtant to come tommorow to school. Because we have limited time for doing a booklet, so it wll be very good if we will meet a soon as possible!!!
No we are a team, and I don't want to hear that somebody is going to sleep, when he or she have to come to the meeting...

Anastasia said...

Bibinur Aldibayeva said...
