Playdoh Economics - Macro graphs!

Ben Cahill

Following on from Jim’s useful communication re macro resources, last week my class got stuck in to the playdoh again. They had to complete a macro graph along with a “prop” to explain what led to the change in the graph.

Some of their efforts are shown below. You will notice that the last one is definitely not macro - always good to make know who is listening properly and / or who knows the basic terms! I’m still not sure why the Coke can is green….

Perhaps they got confused by this youtube video, which claims to show all of the necessary macro graphs needed in an exam but shows some basic micro graphs as well!
