I joined AP classes in senior year only because i just moved to USA in junior. I won economic  championship in my home country (regional champion in OSN Jakarta Utara 2019). Feel free to include my background as a non-english speaker (i just moved to USA at May 2019) and my parents immigration if you feel it important.

The article that you select should support or contradict course material. For example, an article might support or contradict economic theory or empirical results discussed in the textbook. You should not choose an opinion piece or an article that explains economic concepts to laypeople. To do well, you will need to read the relevant textbook chapter before choosing the article. The Bloomberg article on why hotels are still opening during the pandemic is a good example of the role of sunk versus non-sunk costs in firm production decisions.

you should briefly summarize the article (generally no more than one minute; assume that your classmates have read the article). Then, you should discuss how the article either supports or contradicts the related course material
