Supply/Demand: Building Blocks to More Graphs
This unit is going to be fast and quick, but it is highly important!
I will post a quick video on the practice sets on Wednesday, see you then and happy graphing!
The ideas of supply, demand, market equilibrium will be the foundation which the majority of the class is build upon. If you understand these graphs and principals, then you will have a firm grip on the rest of the semester. So I highly encourage you to take good notes, use both the powerpoints and the videos, work the practice sets - and ask questions (either via Twitter, Instagraph, or YouTube).
Use the following videos and powerpoints to fill-in your chart/notes ...

So You Want to Trade: Comparative and Absolute Advantage
For those of you that missed class on Monday, we discussed why we should determine trade using comparative advantage, rather than the old way of thinking (pre David Ricardo - of no relation to Ricky Ricardo) of Absolute Advantage. The video below can be used to see how we determine comparative advantage, in this example we are trading precious cargo and I'm dealing with a tough ruler of a neighboring kingdom.

PPC: Showing Opportunity Costs
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read, you begin with ABC
When you sing you begin with do re mi
Do re mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do re mi, do re mi
The very beginning for AP Macro is the PPC. The curve is a visual of the basic assumptions and vocabulary of economics - scarcity and opportunity cost. When reviewing and working through problems, if you need a quick refresher on how to draw, read, and change the curve refer to the video below.

Closing In On May 15
We are getting close, less than a month away.
8am May 15 - AP Macroeconomics Test
That date will not change.
That is the date we have been working toward all semester. That is the date you have the opportunity to make everything we have been through (all the FRQs, those past and yet to come, the test corrections, the bad jokes) worth it.
For you to get the most out of that date, you need to take responsibility for your preparedness (not sure that's a word or not). Study. Break up your notes into small chunks. Know the graphs!! They are the key to understanding and mastering the course.

Investment Demand
Here is the video over the investment demand graph ...
Remember - The investment demand graph is for BUSINESS SPENDING, which is businesses borrowing for capital investment. This means they will BORROW money to invest, so interest rates are the COST of investment.
