Economics Basketball Review

S
Sam Spurlin

The document is a mock economics class being taught by "Mr. Jordan Spurlin" that covers various economic concepts through a basketball-themed game of questions and answers. It addresses topics like opportunity cost, laws of supply and demand, production possibilities curves, comparative advantage, trade barriers, NAFTA, the Federal Reserve, the business cycle, and more. Students can take shots from further away for correct answers, while the teacher shoots for incorrect answers. Participation is tracked and students can donate shots to each other.

Economics Basketball Class vs. Mr. Jordan Spurlin
The Rules Raise your hand to answer the question. If you get it correct, you may take a shot. You choose how far away from the basket you want to be. The further away you are, the more points you get. If you get it wrong, I get to shoot. Im going to be tracking participation so everyone must attempt at least one answer. If you answer but dont want to shoot, you can donate your shot to somebody else. Every so often I will call on somebody randomly, so be ready.
