Credit Card Research and Scenarios

Great personal finance lesson!

This is a great way to introduce your students to credit cards. I usually spend the day before going over credit, credit scores, and how to use credit responsibly. I recommend going over the link that explains the ins and outs of a Schumer Box. Students will research two different credit cards on the market and fill in the information using the Schumer Box. At the end, they must use critical thinking skills to compare their cards with a partner and using scenarios to match the best card for each scenario. You can either have them complete this research online, or print out the document.
