ANNOUNCING the "Economic Crisis" issue of THE CHANGE AGENT - What exactly
happened when Wall Street crashed in 2008? What led to the crisis? What
exactly is a housing bubble? A bank bailout? A stimulus package? Using clear
language accompanied by illustrations and graphics, the September 2009 issue
of The Change Agent explains the roots of the crisis, tells how people are
responding, gives voice to the unemployed, and tells inspiring stories of
what we could do to create an economy that works for everyone. True stories
by learners shed light on how people are coping, what they are doing to
address financial stresses and injustices, and how they are staying hopeful.
Use this issue of The Change Agent to teach math, grammar, writing, and
critical thinking skills. Students will appreciate having these lessons
rooted in relevant social issues and communicated in articles, essays, and
cartoons that help demystify difficult economic concepts.
