In the IA (Innovation Academy) we decided to start understanding and learning about economics. We realized that most problems that happen in society have at least one documentary; be it poverty, lack of education, medicine, everything! So we have decided to create a Documentary thats related with Economics; INNOVATIVE!
For example, we recently watched The Cove; it talks about a guy who captured a dolphin and send it to sea world and gained a tone of money. 10 years later he realized that what he was doing was wrong and that he was killing the dolphins; he decided to change! Now he has spent more than 20 years trying to stop the problem that he created and is concentrating especially in Japan where 23,000 dolphins were killed per year in "The Cove".
You may be asking yourself, How does this connect to Economics?
Well the answer is pretty simple if you watch the film; the government helped the illegal dolphin slaughter and then gave the approval to sell dolphin meat as if it was whale meat! Unbelievable!!!

----So we decided to chose out own topic and create and analyze a documentary----
We started to brainstorme some ideas today. And got a huge list! These topics interested me the most:
1. Terrorism 2. Endangered Animals 3. Health Problems
1. Terrorism 2. Endangered Animals 3. Health Problems
Then, we decided to revise our vocabulary words; and what a better way to practice vocab with a small, cool game! The game is simple, you put your hands on your head and then the teacher, in our case Mr. Topf, says a definition and the first one to tap the word "wins the word". You do this several times and at the end the one with most vocab word is the winner and the Vocab King or Queen! |
