 Welcome [|IRHS] **World Issues** students. As part of your **Economics** mini-unit you will be required to populate this wiki space with suitable content related to the //**International Debt Crisis**//. In effect you will become both teacher and learner and create the virtual textbook for the topic.  ** Let's start with your //tasks// : **

>  >
 * 1) Pay careful attention to the economics lessons given in class. [[image:The_Coming_First_World_Debt_Crisis.jpg align="right" link="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coming-First-World-Debt-Crisis/dp/0230007848"]]
 * 2)  Arrange yourselves in groups of no fewer than four and no more than five students.
 * 3)  Select a topic from the list below - one topic per group.
 * 4)  Research your topic and answer the following questions:     What is it?    When was it initiated or what was the event that initiated it? What issues was it created to solve? What are the outcomes (use specific examples).
 * 5)   Create one wiki page which answers all of the questions above. Differentiate your wiki page from the other groups and from other wikis in general. You should add links where appropriate and any other elements which make your page effective. Record all of your sources in proper MLA format (see [|Easybib] or [|Bibme.org]) at the very bottom.
 * 1)  Comment on at least three other topics.
