• Use the videos as real life case studies for students to respond to and determine economic principles they see in action and how well those principles are being applied.
• As part of their study, have students go into their community to investigate how different economic principles are being applied by businesses, charitable organizations, financial and educational institutions, etc. Once their research is done, have students create videos and/or reports/presentations on what they learned.  Prior to conducting their own interviews, have students watch videos to help them determine questions to ask and how to organize their video or presentation.
• Have students include insights gained through the videos as part of their projects, papers, and presentations on an economics-related subject by:
  • interpreting and/or summarizing what they saw and learned in the video.
  • citing quotations from the expert in the video.
