As we all start to think about the start of term here is a good graphic that could be used for a starter lesson for getting the students to start thinking about macroeconomics.
I think I will use it to start a mini project that could run for the whole term. You could bring in different macroeconomic concepts as you go along for the UK and the US getting students to research themselves, finding out the current figure and figures for the last year, 5 years or 10 years.
