Select
Strategies:

Show students Notebook guide visual 2.1
that explains fictional scenario typical Friday night for a high school student.
·
Students will pair up and decided how
they will allocate their resources if it was a Friday for them
·
A class discussion will be held to help
us identify what people valued and why.
·
The teacher explains that students just
experienced the problem of scarcity.
Scarcity forces people to make decisions like those made during the
activity.
·
Students are assigned sections 1 -2 two
readings from chapter 2. Students are
responsible submitting answers about the readings via Nakiu.
Utilize
Technology, Media and Materials:
·

computer hooked up to a projector/smartboard.
Visual 2.1 will be shown to the class and introduce the lesson. Students will have the last 20 minutes to
begin their homework. During this time
students can submit answers to Naiku using a personal device, school Ipad or
School laptop.
Required
learner participation:
·
Students must work with a partner to discover
what is most important way to spend their time on a Friday night.
·
Students must complete readings and
questions via Naiku.
Evaluate
and Revise:
·
The lesson was a success. Students identified what was a most important
to them on a Friday night and the opportunity cost of their decisions. Next time I would like to share document 2.1
as a PDF through Google Docs, Dropbox or email.
Allowing students to have the laptops up and running before they are
given work time will allow for a more seamless transition between
activities. Also it will save time,
which allows students get more homework done in class.
