The Stock Market Project

Language Arts class was incredibly… interesting from the past month. One reason why is because we started our stock market project. As we were reading ‘The Westing Game’ by Ellen Raskin, one character, Turtle (yes, that’s her name), invested in the stock market and made lots of money out of that. And then our teacher had an idea. The Stock Market Project. 

Excited, we got to work right away. We started picking the companies we wanted to invest in, and we were off to a great start. Unfortunately, all great starts don’t have great ends. Though it was exciting with all the (fake) money, we lost SO much. At least I did. Guess I didn’t invest in the right companies for then. Our teachers helped us a lot though, and it was very fun. All in all, it was very thrilling!
