Opportunities for Assessment

• Students name their society, create and earn money, then produce goods. They sell goods or perform services in markets. Students are able to experience supply, demand, price, value, economic choices, opportunity cost and use the terms in a meaningful way.

Our Mini-Society Experiences

Mrs. Kidd’s class named their society

Snoopytown

Mrs. Kelley’s class chose

Winterville

Students created class money in Math when we studied money and we voted for our

currency.

Then we went to work

Blake, Levi, Adrian, Dylan, David, and Brandon worked

together

Students bought materials from our warehouse paying with class

cash and became producers.

Mrs. Kelley’s class made products in school and at

home

Some students produced goods

and sold them in class.

Students earned class money by doing homework,

class jobs and chores at home.

Finally, our market day arrived!

Snoopytown

Some were shopkeepers while others shopped.

Others provided services

Everyone had a great time!

When Market was over, all the goods were sold

Mrs. Kelley’s class made a journal about Mini-

Society

Each student got to write about the experience and

what they learned.

Students were using the Economics terminology in a

meaningful way.

We learned a lot about Economics!
