Sidewalk Economics.

- Abstract
This paper presents an innovative group project that uses experiential and collaborative learning methods to move students from the lower levels of Bloom's revised cognitive taxonomy to the higher levels of evaluating and creating. Using chalk as their medium and the sidewalk as their canvas, students answer a question or illustrate a concept or topic of their interest from material covered in the class (diminishing marginal utility, opportunity cost, demand and supply, etc.). We describe the multiple ways this flexible project can be used to expand comprehension of economic principles in a way that students enjoy and, more importantly, remember.
