Chapter 1: The Invisible Hand
Choose which outline you would like to use to take notes. I have started both so you can get an idea of what type of information you should be looking for. Complete an outline for the entire chapter. If you choose not to do an outline but would prefer to write a summary or annotate the text and take notes, you can do that too. Please make a copy of all documents and share them with me. You can find blank outline templates on the Resources page.
Outline 1
OR
Outline 2
Once you have completed an outline, please write a one to two page essay that answers the following question:
Did America turn out how Adam Smith envisioned?
In this essay and the rest that follow, you will be required to make a claim, counterclaim, and gather evidence to back it up. You can find a graphic organizer to help you on the Resources page.
The book, Economix, is a good place to start, but you must use other sources besides the book. Remember, use your rubric!!
