This week you have a video assignment. The selection relates to the material we’ve been covering over the past few weeks. Pick one of the choices below (If you have another related film that you’d like to watch instead for this assignment, just email me to check first) and then, in the style of the response papers you’ve been doing, write up:

• summary of movie
• summary of economic issues
• analysis of economic issues- be sure to tie this in to what we’ve been doing in class
• your opinion of the video- did they do a good job portraying the topic(s), did you leave with more questions you’d like to research (if so, what are they), did the film seem objective or biased?

Your response should be 2-3 pages, including any references other than the video.

Please note that some of the videos contain strong language (Wall Street types are always swearing like the proverbial sailor in films) so you might want to check them out before you plan to watch them with your family!
