Economics What Things Cost Pets Internet Shopping 12th Grade
We've used this project many times in our 12th grade Economics courses. It is part of a series of projects I call "What Things Cost". This project asks the students to shop for a pet. All shopping and research is done online. The entire project can be done in a computer lab in one 50 minute class period - or as a homework activity. Their research is concluded with a short written summary of what they have discovered with connections to our core economics concepts. The project is designed to give

What Things Cost Pets - Follow Up
This is the follow up activity to the previously posted "What Things Cost Pets" Internet research project. I have found that these are good Friday activities for my 12th grade Economics students.

Teaching style
I believe my teaching style would be described as practical and applicable. I do my best to make my Social Science lessons applicable to my student's lives. We are constantly working to take course concepts outside of our classroom - and apply them to current events and my student's daily experiences. If this is not done - all we have are "words on the page". My goal is to make our core concepts and my lessons relevant to their life experiences. I believe the lessons that I've created will show how we've been able to accomplish this goal.
