economics natural disaster

shared by Jason Welker on 15 Mar 11 - No Cached
  • This set of lessons looks at a variety of natural disasters – from the Black Death of the Middle Ages to Hurricane Katrina in our too-recent memory, to fears of avian flu pandemics that haunt the future – through the lens of economic analysis. The contexts were chosen to facilitate the teaching of economic reasoning principles not only in economics courses, but also in history and the other social studies disciplines. Each lesson addresses a question that reflects people’s compassionate reaction to news of disaster and develops one or two key tools of economic analysis in answering that question. Case studies of past disasters provide real-world illustrations.

    This is my own site that I've made for my students. It contains links to good resources (videos, flash lessons, etc.) that they can use to supplement their in-class learning and the homework I give them. The resources are all student-friendly and grouped according to the IB units.
