Teaching and response guide
- Begin with: By how many percentage points does unemployment fall?
- Connect the response to: Which indicator concerns the number unemployed rather than prices?
- Ask students to apply the idea: What additional evidence would help evaluate the program?
Watch for: Accepting an answer without checking whether it uses the material and satisfies the requested relationship or criteria.
Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
