# data[].attributes.body
Students will work in pairs to categorize a list of statements as either positive or normative. Afterwards, each pair will present their categorizations and explain their reasoning to the class.

Students will be given various economic scenarios and must identify and discuss the factors held constant under the assumption of ceteris paribus. This activity will run as a whole class discussion.

Divide the class into small groups and assign each group a normative statement. Each group will prepare arguments supporting and opposing the statement and then engage in a structured debate.

In small groups, students will analyze the short-term and long-term impacts of various economic policies or events. Each group will present their findings.

Students will create timelines for historical economic events and analyze how the significance or interpretation of these events may change over different time periods.

Students will role-play as different economic agents (e.g., consumers, producers, government) to understand their roles and interactions in the economy. This helps in understanding the application of ceteris paribus.

Provide students with a case study about an economic issue. Students will identify the positive and normative statements within the case study and discuss their findings in small groups.

Students will evaluate a specific economic policy implemented in their country. They will discuss the ceteris paribus assumption and identify both positive and normative aspects in its implementation.

Conduct a quiz covering key concepts of economic methodology, including positive vs. normative statements, ceteris paribus, and the importance of time periods. This can be an individual or team activity.

Each group will select an economic event and give a presentation on how its relevance or interpretation may change over different time periods. This activity reinforces the importance of time periods in economic analysis.

Students will create mind maps to visually organize and connect various concepts related to economic methodology. This can be a solo or group activity and helps in reinforcing the learning objectives visually.
