Students will be able to monitor their stock outside of the classroom and provide any important updates changes as necessary. Lesson reflections and notes: Students will put together a presentation at the end of the three months that documents the progress of the five stocks each student purchased. In the presentation students will include information how each stock did each week, what was going on in the world that might have influenced the change in the price of the stock and where they ended up (gains/losses) with each stock over the three month period.
