Instructor's Manual & Other Supplemental Materials

In addition to the 18 video segments, the DVD also includes supplemental documents to assist you in making the most of the Making Economics Come Alive DVD program. These supplemental documents are included on the DVD itself. They include:

For each of the 18 video segments, the Instructor's Manual provides a list of the concepts covered, lesson objectives, a brief description of the video, a preview question to help you introduce the clip in an exciting manner, discussion and analysis questions, and an extension activity. Handouts for your students are included for many of the segments.

Fifty-five multiple-choice questions are provided in the test bank, with seven to thirteen questions for each of the six sections.

The Slide Show presentation is intended to enhance your classroom presentation. It includes 112 slides, highlighting important points made in the video segments, using photos, video stills, and quotations, and posing questions for further discussion.
