DO NOW:

Which nations will have the largest GDP in the year 2030? List the top 3 (in your

opinion)

How will they get there?

Activity: Long term economic growth

In groups of 4, you will come up with a list of factors that are necessary for achieving long-term economic

growth. You should have a MINIMUM of 5 factors (preferably closer to 10). You will use this as a report

card to grade the current progress of the United States in achieving long-term economic growth. Each factor

may have a different weighting if you prefer. Each group must create one report card with detailed

explanations of each of the factors used to determine the grade.

Pick a nation other than the USA (any nation you desire and are

somewhat familiar with)

Grade the other nation using the same criteria that you used to

grade the United States.

Presentations

• Each group must give a brief 2 minute presentation explaining the criteria they chose to grade progress towards long-term economic growth, and the relative performance of the USA and the other nation that they choose using their criteria.
