We continued our learning of elasticity of demand by watching a video that explained how to calculate elasticity using the midpoint formula.

GT and I talked about the short answer quizzes to Parts One and Two that I posted in goole docs. We then discussed the pages that GT had read for homework. We continued reading the novel stopping to discuss the excellent imagery and literary devices that the author uses throughout. We also continued working in his vocabulary book. We began the section of the lesson consisting of an additional 10 new words. We studied the words and looked up definitions for some of the synonyms and antonyms used in the book. We worked on some of the application activities. GT will finish reading Part 2 of the novel and answer the short quiz response for Part One for homework.

GT and I started learning about "Elasticity of Demand", what it is, why it's important, and what it means for products/services to be either elastic or inelastic. We also talked a little bit more about the economics around current events with the Coronavirus.

GT and I briefly discussed his reading and writing assignments for the novel. He needs more time to complete them. He will work on them for homework. We then worked in his vocabulary book. I introduced the new words. We read an informational text that used some of there new lesson words. We had a good discussion regarding the reading. We then completed some of the activities that followed to help GT to use and to learn the new words correctly.

GT and I watched a video explaining and providing real life examples of change in supply vs change in quantity supplied. We did a practice quiz that related to the videos to assess his understanding. Then, we finished up the class watching an episode of Shark Tank to see more examples of how economics are used and applied in the real world.

GT and I reviewed the concepts about change in demand vs change in quantity demanded again and did some practice problems to ensure his understanding.

We started learning about similar factors that affect supply and/or shift the supply curve completely, as well.

GT and I picked up where we left off before Coronavirus threw us off track - learning about Supply and Demand.

We covered 6 reasons why demand in the market would shift and provided real life examples of each.
