The practice loop

A graph is not finished when the curve moves.

  1. BuildLabel the axes, curves, and baseline equilibrium.
  2. CalculateShow the requested arithmetic with units and assumptions.
  3. ShiftMove only the directly affected curve or policy variable.
  4. ExplainClose the causal chain in clear economic language.

Six original stations

Policy transmission across the AP Macro models that need the most transfer.

Use the stations after direct instruction, during a collaborative rotation, for reteaching, or as AP-style review. The scaffolded route preserves the same economics objective while adding a label bank and written frame.

  • Fiscal policy and the simple expenditure multiplier in AD-AS
  • Monetary policy with ample reserves and administered rates
  • Loanable funds, budget deficits, and crowding out
  • Adverse supply shocks and the Phillips curve
  • Foreign demand for financial assets and exchange rates
  • Long-run self-adjustment from a recessionary gap

Ready for Unit 3, Unit 4, or exam review

Let students show the full reasoning, not just the final graph.
