Week 2 – Question Building

What should New York City do to recover economically from COVID-19?

In class we started building some questions that would help us answer this big question.

here are notes from the conversation we had in class on Wednesday, September 2nd

Here is the article that started our discussion:

Gonzalez, Angi. (2020). “Economic Impact of Coronoavirus Still Looms in NYC.” Spectrum News NY1. 31 July. https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/coronavirus/2020/07/31/economic-impact-of-coronavirus-still-looms-in-nyc

Watch (11:20): Economics is for Everybody!

While watching, don’t focus so much on trying to remember every detail of every story. Instead, find one or two stories that are interesting to you and ask yourself why?

Look out for and note:

  • something you find interesting.
  • something that surprised you.
  • something you enjoyed.
  • something you already knew.
  • something you disagreed with.
