Test on Chapters 1 and 2
A reminder that we’re taking a test on Chapters 1 and 2 on Wednesday, September 18th. The test is on basic economic terminology, opportunity costs, the production possibilities frontier, the three dominant economic systems, and economic goals.
Download the review sheet below. It’s the same one from last semester, so don’t worry that it’s labeled “Spring.”
Also at these links, you can download my slideshows from Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. They’re a little messy, but you can get a lot of helpful info from them.

On April 23rd, you will be taking the M-STEP Social Studies test. We hope that we can help you get prepared. For that, we’ve created online modules that cover the material you’ll see on the test. Most of this should be review for you, but it’s good to feel refreshed. If you go to the site https://moodle.dearbornschools.org/course/view.php?id=2171, there are several modules to complete. For every module you complete before the test on April 23rd, you will earn extra credit in my economics class. If you need a password or code, the code for 2nd hour students is x3xbim and the password for 6th hour students is 5nuuaq.
