Bluestocking Guide: Economics is designed to enhance a student's understanding and retention of the subject matter presented in the corresponding primer, Whatever Happened to Penny Candy (This guide is compatible with both the 4th and 5th editions of Whatever Happened to Penny Candy.) This guide includes comprehension questions (relating to specific chapters within the primer), application questions (to guide the student in applying the concepts learned to everyday life), and a final exam. Also included are research and essay assignments, as well as thought questions to facilitate student-instructor discussion. Additional articles for further reading are also included that expand on the concepts presented in the primer. Also includes an economic timetable that can be used to fill in the economic history that is often missing from history books, historical fiction, historical movies, documentaries, etc. This is a multi-age level guide, appropriate for ages 10 through 19 years of age.
My family has found this guide extremely helpful addition to our homeschooling Economics course. More than just a set of quizzes and exams, this guide really helps students expand on the subjects learned in "Whatever Happened to Penny Candy." The Economic Timetable alone is a fabulous resource. We also appreciate all the "Thought" questions that gets our family talking critically about the economy and real-world scenarios. There is also a great section for further reading. We have used other Bluestocking Guides with the rest of the Uncle Eric books and have found them both enjoyable and beneficial.

Easy to understand what many think is a complicated subject, because it SEEMED complicated in my traditional Econ. books! Good for Jr. High to Adult in my opinion.
