Description

This updated version focuses on having students answer 15 questions such as:

• How can I develop the skills and knowledge that I want but do not have?
• Why can’t I have everything I want?
• How can I satisfy more of my wants?
• What is the advantage of working effectively with others?
• Why do some people earn more than others?

The fifteen lessons are all activity based and correlated with economics, history, and literature standards. Each of the 5 units contains one literature-based lesson to help integrate the concept across the curriculum. Activities include:

• Attempting to make something without required skills and knowledge
• Making improvements on a new product
• Solving a problem through group effort
• Simulating the real life of trading and earning income
