You can sign out a textbook from the library to get started on readings for the course. It is highly recommended to do this so you learn the basics early. The material on the syllabus you would be advised to cover includes:
 * 1) "Introduction to Economics" section of August - September,
 * 2) "Types of Markets" for September - October and,
 * 3) "Supply and Demand" under October - November.

All three sections are easy to understand and take notes for. Material has also been summarized for you at the following site(note it is always being updated and adjusted, so check weekly): @http://sites.google.com/site/economicsforhighschool/home

You would be advised to take notes on this information yourself using the syllabus as a template for headings. There are also many websites online for economics that may help you understand materials more easily than the readings. Make use of different sources in order to "round out" your understanding of ideas.

Please see me for advise on how to navigate the textbooks.

This course will be give you success and enjoyment as long as you review the material regularly by scribbling notes, drawing graphs, and by making comparisons to events in the world around you. The knowledge gained in one class will continue to scaffold from section to section until you find yourself seeing many things from an economic perspective. Please be sure to watch and read the news regularly too. All the best.
