High School Resources
Here are some reading lists,
websites, film lists, documents and other materials that high school teachers
and students might find useful. They were collected by teachers and students
working in conjunction with the Union for Radical Political Economics. For
more information about URPE, and its speaker/resource bureau Economy Connection,
browse through other sections of this website. Economy Connection can provide speakers for your high school class.
Note: If you have trouble reading pdfs, make sure you have the current version of Acrobat Reader.
