Hi, my name is Lisa Rowland and I teach JA Economics and AP Economics. My email is lrowland@middletowncityschools.com. My AP blogspot is http://rownomics.blogspot.com Students are expected to read a minimum of one article a week and either post one comment online, or turn in a hard copy of their comments in class. My hope is that students will learn more about economics and gain more interest in the subject by reading and writing their thoughts on current events. The site clustrmap shows visitors from all around the globe, please email and let us know what you think of our site.
