My students need a library of personal finance titles to use for class projects and presentations. I want to encourage my students to become life-long learners and I want them to realize that they can continue learning about personal finance on their own. Students will read and present the key ideas of these books to each other. I chose titles that would appeal to my students on subjects ranging from personal finance to investing to untraditional career choices. I will divide students into groups and the group will choose a book to read. Each member of the group will read a chapter or two of the book and they will collectively create a powerpoint presentation that summarizes the book for their classmates. I expect my students to initially judge the books on their titles (and particularly gravitate to "You are a Bad*ss at Making Money" and "I Will Teach You To Be Rich."). Once they begin reading, I believe they'll feel more empowered to continue learning on their own. Another possible project could include reading about cheap business ideas in "The $100 Startup" and "Side Hustle" and then brainstorming businesses that members of our class could start. Additionally, students could create a social media campaign around an idea that they learn about it one of the books.
