Student Exercises
- Students listen to and read stories about various personal financial topics from the Sound Money show or from the "Features" section of Marketplace. Archives of each show include audio files for all segments of the shows and some corresponding text files.
- While doing a research project or exploring a personal finance topic, students refer to the resources included with each segment of Sound Money audio on the site.
- After researching a personal finance topic, and reading/listening to a selection of Sound Money commentator Chris Farrell's weekly essays, students write, rehearse and tape an advice-laden commentary piece, which they then play for the rest of the class.
- Students follow economic and business stories presented on local news shows, Morning Edition and All Things Considered, and the national show Marketplace. To include a focus on how global and domestic economic systems interact, students also follow current stories on national and international news programs such as "As It Happens" and "BBC World Service." See the main MPR News as a starting point to find programs and stories.
