What does the word surplus mean? What does shortage mean?



Main Course:



Make up Benchmark testing if you were absent!

#7 Table of Contents-EQ: What is equilibrium, price floors, and price ceilings?

Notes on equilibrium, shortages (price ceilings), surpluses (minimum wage)

Shortages occur when prices are lower than the equilibrium price (demand is greater than amount produced) Surplus occurs when price of good is higher than equilibrium price. Surplus is more than what a consumer demands.

Governments fix prices for bread, housing, & other basic needs. Price ceilings are the maximum price the government will allow for these goods. Price floor is a minimum price for a good. Minimum wage is an example of a price floor.



You will be drawing 2 demand lines (curves) and 2 supply curves on your graph paper; be sure to make Demand lines one color and supply lines another color! Label your lines as D1, D2 and S1, S2. Indicate equilibrium (market clearing price where demand meets supply)-You will have 2 equilibrium prices (one for D1 and S1 and then another for D2, S2). This will make sense when you start constructing. Please indicate surplus, shortage, title for graph, old equilibrium (D1S1), new equilibrium (D2S2) This will be assessed

Welcome to World History



Dear Parents,



I am honored to be teaching your child in World History for this spring semester 2013. I just wanted to welcome you and your student into my class. I sent home a syllabus with my contact information but also wanted to give you other forms of communication for this semester. We are entering our third week of the semester and so far, I have had a great experience with each class. All of my students have become active participants in the classroom and I am happy to announce we have not had any issues. I believe through the first few weeks, we have created a good learning environment and hope to maintain the relationships and participation throughout the year. I want to provide the tools for success too all of my students and feel that the extra support at home is important for the student achievement.







My tutoring hours are Monday and Thursday afternoons from 3:45-4:30 as well as Wednesday mornings from 7:15-745a.



I will also be updating my blog weekly with information and resources for this course. I encourage you to check the blog for weekly agenda’s and Major test or projects.



I also set up a remind101 account. The students have subscribed to an online group. Through this group I am able to send them reminders about the class. Example: Reminders to study for test, or project due dates. I also encourage you as the parent to use the information below to subscribe to this group so that you may be aware of the students work for this class.



I am so excited for what this semester has is store. I believe in my students and their success in this class and will be happy to help you/student in any way I can.
