   Evaluative Skills
Interest rates are the factor reward households gain from saving
Developing vocabulary   money in a bank and also the financial cost for borrowing from a
   and definitions       bank. Inflation is generally defined as a persistent increase in the
                        average price level in the economy



                        This indicates that a tightening monetary policy is a reasonable
Developing analytical   measure to steer the economy. In this policy, the ECB will increase
                        interest rates in order to promote saving and discourage
     structure          borrowing. This should lead to a decrease in Germany’s aggregate
                        demand and hence decrease the country’s GDP.



                        On the other hand, controlling interest rates is considered to be the
                        most effective way of managing aggregate demand and also the
   Evaluative Skills    best to combat inflation. Since in Germany the inflation rate
                        exceeds the ECB’s target of ‘close to but below 2 percent’ it is
                        necessary to take action. Lastly, there is always a time lag
                        between the implementation of a policy and the showing of first
                        changes in the real life situation. Even though this span of time is
                        relatively short compared to, for example, fiscal policies that try to
                        steer the economy by adjusting government spending. As interest
                        rates affect both individuals and companies immediately, they will
                        consider redistributing the spending of their disposable income
                        quite soon.

                        In order to combat the recession resulting from the worldwide

     Studies            has kept interest rates at a record low of 1 percent since May 2009.
                        Now, the German inflation rate is seen steady at 2.1 percent which
                        led the ECB to signal that it will raise interest rates.

  • #3 From students thoughts -> writing is very difficult. \n- auditory learners, visual learners, ESOL students all struggle\n- but assessment is written \n- so getting there eventually is soo important\n
  • #4 Typical structure of writing that students require in Economics\nMost subjects have some template for exams\nHelp students up the ladder in lots of different ways. \n

  • #8 My worksheets were amazing.. too easy for students to copy answer from the text.\nMetacognition... but do they really understand...?\nCould they explain it - make conceptual links to real world examples?\n
  • #9 using story board as guide - see economics example\nWhy is it important to use a StoryBoard - content is more important that the product, need to prepare element before building product.\n
  • #10 Developing a storyboard... such and important part\nCan be developed collaboratively or individual\nPre-production sign off... \nBest way to manage the projects. \n
