Whoo hoo! Finally, a fun (and easy) way to teach some difficult economic concepts! This 41-page unit on Economic Systems (Traditional, Market, & Command) is full of engaging, hands-on activities that will make your students understand those tough concepts. Here are some of the things that are included:
--PowerPoint slide-style notes about each of the systems (These colorful pages can also be printed out and used as posters around the room!)
--A graphic organizer to complete with the notes
--Cards for each of the vocabulary terms that can be posted on your Word Wall (I've also included a blank template for you to write your own words, if needed)
--An engaging "Show Me" review game
--A fun craftivity where the students create mini-books (based on "The Important Book" by Margaret Wise Brown)
--Worksheet with comprehension questions (can be used as a quiz!)
--A creative group assignment where the students will work on role plays using the vocabulary words that they've learned in the unit
--A writing activity where the students will "back up" their opinion

I purchased your economic systems lesson, but none of the words in the content are showing up. I was hoping to use it today as I don't have a printer at home, but it isn't usable as I have it.
That is very strange. Here is my email address: ansleybennett@gmail.com Email me & I will send you the PDF as well as the original PowerPoint. I'm sorry it's not working!
I've been teaching for six years--all in middle school. Yes, I'm crazy! :) I started out in sixth grade Social Studies, but I recently made the switch to Language Arts. So far, so good!
