Do: Discussion Board Module 06 (Pre- and post-replies)

  1. After completing Module 05, begin Module 06 by offering your first thoughts to one (1) of the questions in the next module.  No preparation is needed, and you automatically earn 2 points.
  2. After completing Module 06, read through the pre-learning thoughts of your classmates and help a classmate in your assigned group expand on those thoughts.  Earn up to an additional 8 points by using assigned materials to build out those pre-learning thoughts and arrive at a well-developed answer. Include page references from Common Sense Economics (2010) and a reference to an assigned video or podcast to support your work in order to earn full credit.
  3. The questions follow. (Please copy and paste the question into your reply.  It makes grading easier, thanks!)
