Economics


This is my latest obsession... flip books. My class this year really enjoys making them. Our social studies unit is on the economic system in Asia. So to better understand this economic system, I needed to teach enough vocabulary to make the unit a success. We started with goods and services. We talked about these words as they pertain to our community. Then we talked about supply and demand. We were able to use a real world example that was happening right away... the new NIKE sneaker ... the lines... the limited supply... ohhhhh.. the price! They really grasped the concept! So this cupboard flip book is a demonstration of those  vocabulary words.
