Ode to Economics

This Thursday will be National Poetry Day. Here's an opportunity to bring out the artistic side of our economics students! I think my A level lessons on Thursday might start with some pair work to write a limerick on the subject of Fair Trade. If that goes well, we might even follow up with a sonnet about the WTO and Protectionism for prep. If I find any budding Worsdworths or Shakespeares in the class, or even an Edward Lear, I might share them with you here on the blog!
