Supply and Demand
Assignment History
Find two news articles from the Internet that illustrate a shift in supply and/or demand but DO NOT directly refer to supply and/or demand. The articles need to illustrate at least two of the four graphs. The articles must be recent (within the last six months), and MUST NOT be from an encyclopedia, journal, or reference website that discusses demand and supply.
DO NOT use blogs.
The best articles are about changes in the price and/or sales of a particular product. You then have the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of supply and demand shifts as you explain the changes why the graphs you select may explain the topic discussed in the articles. RECOMMENDATION: READ THE SAMPLE PROJECT: Under the Getting Started link.
Summarize the article. (Do not quote the article, but explain it as if you were telling someone about it. If you do use direct quotes or paraphrases, remember that citations and references are
required.) If you use more than one article, then citations are required.
Explain which graph in our collection – A, B, C, or D – illustrates the shift that you identify by describing the change in equilibrium quantity. Remember to illustrate the shifts shown in at least two of the four graphs.
Some articles may describe a situation where both curves shift. This is not common but it is possible.
