Abstract

We provide eleven short exercises that can be used in a principles of microeconomics classroom that incorporate media clips from the Economics Media Library (http://econmedialibrary.com/). The exercises have been used in both small and large classroom settings and take less than 15 minutes to complete. These teaching guides can be a helpful first step for educators interested in introducing small activities to engage students in the classroom.
