1. Explain the role/job you have been assigned to for our Classroom Economy.
I have been assigned the job of Chief Technology Officer. This means that if someone is charging their Chromebook during class, I have to report them to the president of the class, and they will get fined. I also get to keep $10 of that fine. Something I have to look out for is making sure I catch those people. If I don’t by the end of class, I get fined $100.
2. What are you most excited/nervous about for our Classroom Economy?
I am most excited about basically the whole job thing. I think that it’s going to be pretty fun to all have jobs to do. I also think that getting and depositing the checks will be fun because we can learn how.
3. In my mind, poverty is caused by people not having a job that gets enough money, or if a popular workplace gets closed down, so they can’t work.
