Understanding Economics - Notebook Companion™ to History Is Rich

VIEW SAMPLE

For many of us, the idea of teaching economics is intimidating. We know the concepts such as supply and demand, taxes and tariffs, and investment and inflation are important, but we aren’t sure how to teach them to our kids.

Understanding Economics, a Notebook Companion™ to History Is Rich by Honest History (sold separately), not only takes the stress out of teaching important economic concepts to our kids, it makes it fun!

Making Complex Concepts Easy to Understand

History Is Rich is broken down into eleven bite-sized chapters. Each one focuses on a different aspect of economics in American history, from the beginnings of exploration through the Industrial Revolution, Great Depression, and modern times.

It takes each concept such as money, banking, stocks, and bonds and explains them in ways kids can understand, using examples from their own lives. Since economic theories are still debated today, as they have been throughout history, questions are asked to help students think critically about what economic principles work and what principles do not.

Easy-to-Use, Just Open and Go!

There is no prep-work involved. Just grab a copy of History Is Rich by Honest History (sold separately), and work through the books at your own pace.

Our Notebook Companion™ provides open-ended questions about the facts students learn and provides them with a place to record their answers and sketch pictures to help them remember key concepts. Each chapter also includes bonus projects such as a dictionary of twenty-nine economic terms students can build as they complete the unit, writing prompts, and additional research projects to help students go deeper into the topics covered.

  1. Journaling is a great way for young scholars to remember what they have learned through the pen to paper style of memorization.

    Anne Dolmseth

    This particular book and journal have a different perspective to “Understanding Economics.” The author of “History is Rich,” the companion book to this journal, offers his personal opinion of historical events as well as his cohorts about very specific topics related to how and why our economy is the way it is today. Key definitions and word usage may not be for everyone. With that in mind, journaling is a great way for young scholars to remember what they have learned through the pen to paper style of memorization.
