After reading the charming cartoon about the United States Federal Reserve, pupils often need to complete activities to retain their learning. The resource does a wonderful job of using class discussion and various written exercises to do just that. Individuals complete a multiple-choice assessment as well as short-answer questions and graphs, among other activities, in a number of handouts to better gauge their understanding.
