The Story of ‘Adam Sugar’ (aka Aggregate Supply)

This is a great activity my HoD Luke McIlvenna did today with our mutual Lower Sixth Economics Class, which helped them to develop and demonstrate their understanding of aggregate supply.

The students were asked to write a story about aggregate supply in which they had to imagine it as a person or thing with characteristics or even a personality. They needed to think about being quiet and unoccupied, becoming busier, and then becoming super stressed as they reached full capacity.

Some of the work produced by students was really great, not to mention creative. Here are two examples:

I’m looking forward to being able to build on this knowledge as we cover economic growth, unemployment and demand pull inflation.
