Fables and Economics Integrated Unit

Fables are powerful stories for retelling and learning the elements of fiction. But have you ever thought of using fables to teach economics concepts? I love using fables to integrate economics and social studies in first grade! And this 6 week JAM PACKED unit is great for that and perfect around the holidays too!
