This is a PBS evening news clip from tonight that shows Janet Yellen slipping today in her press conference and the explanation of her definition of "considerable" indicating that rates might go up in six months. The point for your students is to show the power of the Federal Reserve chairperson's enormous power. Notice the dip below just after Yellen gave her decidedly explicit answer.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)
