Part A - Textbook summary of your topics - 14 marks (7/7)

Read the pages of you textbook that pertain to your topics. Take notes on the index cards provided. Once you are done that, summerize the main points on your chapter 9 google doc, ensuring that you answer the question, "how does the government play the economic role you have chosen?" Your end product should be 3-5 full sentences answering the question on google docs. Please show it to me before we move on. Find an appropriate picture that represents that role.

Part B - Introduction - 4 marks (2/2)

Create a title slide. (Powerpoint, Photoshop, Word) Take a screencapture of that slide and upload it to your voicethread. Introuduce your presentation-what is it called? what are you going to look at? Who is it by?

 * 3) Save the link of where you got your article in your google doc.

Part D - Conclusion - 10 marks (5/5)

This will be your final slide. The slide should still say thanks for watching and should still have some sort of graphic but I also want you to restate what you have done.

For example:


 * Last slide-more than just a thank you. Your conclusion should be something like: We have examined the governments role as a taxer (producer, regulator etc) in the Canadian economy. We have shown that it is (repeat what it does from the textbook) by looking at the article (articles name). We also looked at (do it again for the second topic). Thank you for taking the time to watch our presentation.**
