Here is my plan based on the suggestions from Bookworm in various post here on the forum:
I, Pencil – audio
Economics in One Lesson – abridged audio at FEE
Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve video mises.org
The-Fed-the-FDIC-and-Other-Problems video on mises.org http://mises.org/media/7770/The-Fed-the-FDIC-and-Other-Problems
Common Sense (audio) on librivox.org
Whatever Happened to Penny Candy
Edgar the Exploiter and its comeback on youtube
Stossel in the Classroom – free teacher dvds from 2012 and 2013
Lessons for the Young Economist – free text online
6 Sowell videos introducing/discussing his book “Economic Facts and Fallacies” http://fora.tv/search?q=sowell+fora+tv
Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One – Sowell
Doing Well By Doing Good in Not-So-Good Times http://fora.tv/2009/04/29/Doing_Well_By_Doing_Good_in_Not-So-Good_Times
This should be about 43 hours just for reading/watching the way I figure it. So, with narration/disscussion I’m not sure it will still amount to a half credit.
Feedback welcome!!…too much, too little? Too redundant? Other Maybury books I should add? Anything I should consider adding to give a more balanced view or “the other side of the story”? Anything else to DO besides narration?
And I’m not set on a half credit, but wanted to get feedback on the mix and amount of material and how much credit it’s worth.
Except for the Sowell book (which I’ll pick up used for $11 or less), and the Maybury book we already have, it’s all free!! Yea!!
Thank you!

anniepeterParticipantPS – I think I would like to keep it to not more than half credit, just because of enerything else this student needs to fit in to his schedule. But if it’s less than that, I can combine it with something else.
JennNCParticipantI believe that Lessons for the Young Economist by itself is considered worth a half credit… not saying you shouldn’t add the other things (your plan looks similar to mine, so I’m definitely watching this thread!), just that I think you’ve got that half-credit covered.
