Being a high school teacher, teaching Economics it is quite surprising to find students who do not read. Majority of the students who join Economics in Grade 11 come with zero reading habit. Sad! Acquisition of knowledge happens when students read beyond the textbook especially for a subject like Economics where students have to be self- motivated to apply the Economic concepts to real-world situations. This is possible by reading newspaper – as Economics does not have a lab where things can be demonstrated and shown to students. So 15 min – 20 min of news reading sessions, discussions and connections to real-world examples can be basic and effective teaching strategy while teaching Economics at high school level.
