Economics revision using news stories

Penny Brooks

I used some of the current news stories on both micro and macroeconomics to highlight opportunities for evaluation in an A2 lesson today. This PowerPoint has summaries of six topical items, with links to the full story on the BBC news site, followed by questions about it which generated some useful discussion in class. The last one is a little bit tongue-in-cheek - but might be worth thinking about as you revise different methods of regulation!
