Task 3: Create/Apply

Now it is your turn.. You will create your own product that people would want to buy! You will create some kind of 3D project to bring in to class. The good/product must be something you can physically draw or bring in to share with your classmates. Be creative, it can be anything from a toy to a food item, or anything else you would want to produce! 

Things to include in your presentation:

-a Tangible Good that is easily movable to share with your classmates

-At least two reasons why you created that product 

-Feedback from at least three people who you think would want to buy this good. 

  •  Examples: Family, Friends, Neighbors, Classmates, etc. 

- Must be completed by October 22, 2018

 

Teacher Example: 

Product: Customizable Backpack Straps 

Price: $10 per pair of straps

https://www.google.com/search?q=interchangeable+backpack+straps&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS690US708&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwia-r_LmffdAhUSm-AKHRiKCUsQsAR6BAgGEAE&biw=1370&bih=743

Why: 

-You can match your backpack straps with your outfit for the day

-You will never get board of carrying the same backpack everyday

-Easy to store 

-Can trade them out with your friends. 

-Affordable

Asking the Audience: 

Neighbor- I would want to buy them because I know my Son always changes his mind on what he likes. This would be a great way to give him constant change. 

Dad- I really like the variety of colors that the product has to offer. 

Brother- I don't like them because it is too much work for me to have to change them out every day. 

 

 

                                     I believe you can do it! Use your CREATIVE minds (:

STAGE II – Teacher Procedures and Questioning

Teacher Procedure and Questioning Strategy:

Time

0:00-5:00 min.

Description

Introduction

-Take out a newly sharpened pencil, candy treat, a homework pass, or favorite book (Something that the students would really like).

 

-Ask the students if they would be willing to trade some type of good in exchange for one of the objects that you have in your hand. (Write this information on the board in a t-chart format labeled goods on the right and services on the left)

 

-Now ask the students what kind of service they would be willing to give in exchange for one of the object you are giving to the students and record this information on the service side of the t-chart.

               Goods                                 Services

 

 

  • Eraser                            - Cleaning out their desk
  • A dollar                          - washing the white board
  • Old book                        -Taking out the Trash
  • Bracelet                          -Sharpening the pencils

2:00-5:00 min

Explain what a good and a service is (Refer to the chart)

 

-Goods- things that can be bought, sold, or held.

-Services- things that people can do for each other.

 

-When you trade one thing for another, this is called bartering

5:00-10:00 min.

Have each student draw or write a good on a notecard. (Pass out one notecard to every student) Describe to them that they can draw anything that they would want to buy at a store. Give them 2:00 min to draw this and then explain the interactive modeling activity. Each student will walk around the classroom and scope out each student’s good. With having in mind what is in their hand, their goal is to trade their good at least two times for something that they want in exchange for what they originally have.

 

*As an informal assessment walk around the room to see if students are bartering correctly, and that students are willing to make sacrifices for what they want.

5:00-10:00 min.

Have students sit back down in their chairs. To Check for understanding, ask them questions to review their experience. Questions to ask:

-Which item was the hardest to barter for?

-Did anyone try to barter their items back?

-What made you want to barter?

 

5:00-10:00 min.

What is the difference between a need and a want?

 

-Need- something we must have to keep us alive (Food, water, plants, etc.)

-Want- A desire we must have somethings that we like. (Toy, New pencils, video games, etc.)

5:00-10:00 min.

Wrap Up: Have students take out their journals and collect a writing sample. In their writing sample, they must include a picture of a good, a picture of a service, a want, and a need. Then they will turn it in to the front bin.  

5:00 min.

Describe the WebQuest homework assignment. This is an interactive plan where students must create a good or service that they would want to purchase. Then they must come up with ideas why they think other people would want to buy it and then ask three people if they would be willing to buy or trade their good for some kind of means.

 

  • Assessment Procedures:
    • Informal: Walk around the classroom to see how student interact with their other classmates while trading their goods and services. If the student seems to be participating give them a check mark for participation by their name.
    • Formal: Four category writing sample in their journal. One picture/ description for each of the following words goods, services, wants, and needs. Students must receive at least a 7 out of 12 to pass this standard.
    • Walk students through how to access the WebQuest Website.

 

  • Assessment:
    • Students should be able to draw and identify what goods, services, wants, and needs are. They should be able to support their answer with clear sentences and be able to differentiate what each of those words mean.
    • Students should be able to use these terms in real life settings when trading with their classmates.
    • WebQuest – Students will create a good or service that they think people would want to buy. They must come up with at least 2 reasons people would buy it and then ask 3 people why they would want to buy their product.

WebQuest overview: This site is used for teachers to extend an Economics lesson on goods and services. These activities will help students grow and learn more about products of needs and wants. They will have different resources that will push them closer to mastery of the objectives. 

 

The standards reflect: 

SS.1.E.1.3- Distinguish between examples of goods and services.

SS.1.E.1.4-Distinguish people as buyers, sellers, and producers of goods and services.

 

This lesson for the students: Is created for first grade students, who need a further resources to engage with goods and services. This will allow them to have an overview, hands-activity, and apply their creativity to what they have learned about goods and services. 

This lesson for the teacher: Teachers should have a background knowledge of what goods and services are. Teachers should have an understanding of need verse want. Teachers should have access to other resources to help differentiate instruction for struggling learners. 

*Students should start working on this assignment in a timely manner and complete all the task within 2 weeks of the start date.
