** Fall 2008 AP Econ Finance Book Discussion **
This is the final portion of your grade that will be calculated as a Performance Task. This, along with the analysis of the economic policies of the candidates, will comprise 25% of your final grade. Here is your task:
 * Follow the link below, choose one of the books on this list, and put your name next to it.
 * Read the book
 * Come back to this page, click on the word Reviewer next to where you typed in your name and write a 1250 word summary and review of that book on the page. I recommend you type it into a word processing program and paste it here, just so you'll have a copy of it in case disaster strikes while you're writing.
 * Make sure your summary looks nice--heading, your name on it, etc. I've typed in just the book's name in plain font so you'll know you're in the right place. You can delete or alter that if you prefer.
 * Moderate the discussion on your book, providing at least 500 words as part of that discussion.
 * Choose three other books to enter into a discussion about. You must sign up for those books on this front page, and you must contribute at least 250 words to each discussion. I recommend choosing three totally different books and not choosing the books your friends are reviewing, but that's up to you.
 * At the end of each discussion entry, please list how many words it was. It will help both of us keep up. You can write ten 25 word discussion items or one 250 word item--just try to honestly enjoy the exchange of ideas as best you can.
 * DO NOT type over someone's name on this list. Choose empty spaces.
 * Your grade will be as follows: 50% for the summary/review of your book, 20% for the moderation of your book's discussion, and 10% for each of the discussions you have about other books.


 * Deadlines:**
 * For your own book summary/review: December 11 at 11:59:59 p.m.
 * For the discussions on your book and the other books: December 15
