Grade Level: High School – Community College

In the years leading up to the summer of 1997, Asia seemed to be a promising player in the global economy. Market-watchers and investors in the late 1980s would scarcely have predicted that the developing Asian countries would be fraught with economic problems a decade or so down the road. For the most part, the early hints and warning signals of an impending financial crisis went largely unheeded; this crisis surprised and caught many unprepared. Now, as the Asian economies are steadfastly recovering from the 199798 financial crisis, people have taken a step back to pinpoint the lessons. Thus, this retrospective glance becomes a useful intellectual exercise even for the new student in economics.

This curriculum unit will introduce students to a handful of the basics in international economics and help them to understand the events of the 199798 Asian financial crisis. With this foundation, students will be better prepared to apply their knowledge of current events and appreciate the economic issues that are featured in the news everyday.

Lesson One introduces students to some basic economic terminology and exchange market mechanisms, and presents a summary of the 199798 Asian financial crisis. With a general understanding of the Asian economies and the train of events leading up to the Asian financial meltdown, students will better grasp the implications of economic trends and policies covered in the news. Students will be asked questions designed to gauge their understanding of this crisis. A class newspaper activity has been provided to give them an opportunity to find out more about the Asian financial crisis on the Internet.

Lesson Two focuses on the history and responsibilities of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Handouts are provided for the teacher and students to read in preparation for a classroom Team Quiz activity. Students will examine the objectives of the IMF. To further solidify their understanding of the IMF and form their own conclusions about its effectiveness, student-groups will be asked to create a one-page brochure summarizing the key points about the IMF.

Lesson Three consists of 2 parts in which the students will apply what they have gleaned from the first 2 lessons. Part 1 is the simulation in which students will be divided into groups representing 10 different East Asian countries and the IMF Executive Board. Each group will prepare a presentation that highlights the key economic strengths and weaknesses of the IMF and the assigned countries. All groups will enact a roundtable discussion that simulates the IMF country-evaluation process. As a final exercise in Part 2, each group will be asked to present a final report on the current economic status of its designated country, post 199798 Asian financial crisis.

Perfect!
Scent: White Peach, Size: 14oz
Everything you would want in a pet hygiene product. Pet hair type I used this on: low shed, dense cork screw (tight curl) hair/fur. Excellent lather, even application, clean and easy rinsing. The scent is lovely and gentle, perfect for my human senses and -more importantly- the animal minded fragrance notes are happily accepted by my pet’s delicate olfactory system. I start spa bath time by offering an open cap sniff of the products. This is one we both prefer. My pet hasn’t run from the room or attempted to flee the wash basin 🙂

A Gentle Clean That Leaves My Pups Smelling Incredible
Scent: White Peach, Size: 14oz
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day 3-in-1 Dog Shampoo in White Peach is a breath of fresh air compared to the harsh, chemical-heavy formulas often found on pet store shelves. The 3-in-1 claim—cleansing, softening, and freshening—actually holds up; the formula lathers well enough to cut through dirt and grime but rinses out quickly without leaving any sticky residue. Because it is made with essential oils and plant-derived ingredients, it feels very gentle on the skin, which is a huge plus if your pets are prone to itching or dryness after bath time. The standout feature, however, is the scent. The White Peach aroma is light, fruity, and natural, avoiding that overpowering "wet dog covered in cheap perfume" smell that other brands tend to produce. It strikes a perfect balance: strong enough to neutralize odors but subtle enough that it doesn't seem to bother the dogs' sensitive noses. It makes the entire bathroom smell like a summer orchard rather than a grooming station. Most importantly, the lasting freshness is unbeatable. After using this, my dogs smell absolutely amazing—clean, sweet, and huggable—for days, not just hours. It completely eliminates that lingering "doggy odor" and leaves their coats feeling soft and fluffy. If you are looking for a shampoo that makes you actually want to bury your face in your dog's fur, this is the one to buy.

Works as advertised
Scent: White Peach, Size: 8oz
Exactly as described. My dog seems to enjoy the spraying and wiping process - no struggles. I am not fond of the aroma, even though I usually love anything peach. The smell lasts several days on the dog, so we're not smelling the "dog" smell as much.
