Nearly every day, huge amounts of currency are traded all over the world. The foreign exchange market depends on exchange rates to operate. In this LAP, students will learn more about these rates—what they are, what they mean, who uses them, and how they’re determined. In the corresponding activities, students will explore factors affecting current exchange rates.
LAPs (Learning Activity Packages) are comprehensive instructional packages that include all elements of a performance-oriented lesson plan. This LAP includes a student handout (with CopyIT! permission) that includes information about exchange rates, a (So What?) discussion of why it's important to learn, ideas (Make it Pay!) for immediate application, and a short (Gray Zone) case addressing ethical issues. Click here for a sample of the student section. The instructor section features a comprehensive discussion guide, complete practice- (short answer) and post-tests (multiple-choice) with descriptive keys, student activities, and more.
Bring your discussions to life with our PowerPoint presentation featuring a broad range of graphics and special effects to help keep students interested. This professionally produced presentation consists of 36 slides.
