Stossel Clips for the Teaching of Economics

More than any other journalist, John Stossel uses economic concepts to both enlighten and enliven his reporting. ABC News recently produced two DVDs that are highly complementary with any economics text. They are:

1. "Teaching Tools for Microeconomics from John Stossel"
2. "Teaching Tools for Macroeconomics, Government and International Trade from John Stossel"

John Stossel is definitely on his game in these two DVDs containing 31 short (usually 3 to 6 minute) video segments that highlight key economic concepts. Initially prepared for ABC television (20/20 and various Stossel specials), these clips have been modified and designed especially for classroom use. Several FSU faculty members have been using the clips and found them very effective and popular with students.

The DVDs also contain an Instructor's Manual with discussion questions, testing material, related activities, and other ideas about how to use the clips most effectively. The DVDs are offered as a college or high school edition. The clips are the same but the instructor manual is somewhat different between the editions. They are available for $29.95 each or teh set of two for $49.95 and can be ordered at: ABC News Store.

This DVD set is independent of and has different clips than John's other DVDs which are available for free to teachers. Please visit Stossel in the Classroom for details.
