{Download FREEBIE pack here.} Economics is my absolute FAVORITE social studies unit to teach. There are so many hands-on activities to do with students and they are so eager to earn and spend money! One of my favorite activities is to end with our "Madden's Marketplace." This is a chance for students to put into action all of the things they have learned about being producers and consumers. To begin with, I send home a letter asking students to create paper goods. Why paper? It's something all of my students have at home (or I can easily give them). I want my marketplace to be fair for all students. I'm sure I could let them have the freedom to create any product, using any materials and I would get some amazing masterpieces. I would also get some elaborate (and expensive) items. That's not what I want. I encourage parents to spend NO money on this and for it to be STUDENT CREATED. I really want them to take the initiative. Here are some samples of paper products my students created to sell this year - everything from rockets to bookmarks to lanterns to hats. I incorporate the making of goods into my students' homework schedule, encouraging them to create two products per night. Before the due date, we work on creating "shops" in class. We create our "shop" by gluing two file folders together. The picture below is using legal-sized file folders, but that just happens to be what we had available. Shop Parts: Signs: Initially, we create the signs for our shops, color the awnings to make them eye-catching. Open/Closed: Next, we create open/closed signs that sit atop our shop so we can easily flip the sign to show the status of our shops. Slogan: We then come up with a catchy slogan. We talk about slogan's we know from commercials. Why did those stick in our heads? We learn to use a play on words, alliteration, onomatopoeia, etc. to make our slogans catchy so consumers will remember them. Product Description: Students each write a product description detailing WHAT their product is and HOW it works or can be used. We talk about the importance of letting consumers know exactly what they are getting. Commercial Script: Finally, students write commercials to "sell" their products to their classmates. We use hooks to get their attention, repetitions of our catchy slogans, and persuasion. Other Components: We also glue on the Consumer Comments, Price, and Interest Inventories, but we leave all of those blank initially. On the day of the marketplace, students set up their shops and lay their products out on display. Then, they have a chance to walk around the classroom and "window shop." They are encouraged to take a good look at all of their options, reading the product descriptions and examining the merchandise. After students have had a good look at all of their choices, I give them stickers (I would recommend 3-4). They walk around and place their stickers on the "Interest Inventory" of the products that interest them the most. The results of the interest inventory are used by the shop owners to determine if they have a high demand or low demand for their products. Knowing the demand helps them determine a price for their product. High demand = higher price. Low demand = lower price. The only rule is that all prices have to be in whole dollars. Once prices are set, then students are ready to go shopping! There are many different ways to let students shop. Some years, if I've done economy-based management system, my students will use "money" they've earned to shop. This year, I just gave them all $12 to shop with. I'm always torn about letting my students split into groups to run their shops (half shop while half work) - it always seems that students don't get to shop at all of the stores in that scenario. To solve that problem, I let all of my students shop at the same time. To do this students create "tokens" to leave at their shop. They create the same number as products they have to sell. For example, if Katie has 10 kites to sell, she creates and leaves 10 tokens with her name or shop name on them. Once each shop has tokens, students are ready to shop. Since there are no workers at the shops to collect money, I give my students "consumer spending logs" with pictures of dollars on them. Since I gave my students 12 dollars to spend, their consumer spending logs had 12 one dollar pictures. As students go around to the shops, they color in the dollars they've spent and pick up tokens (NOT products) that they will trade in for their purchases once the shops close. Once all of the tokens are gone, that shop is "closed." Once a student has colored in all of the dollars on his/her spending log, they are done shopping. It really works out quite well. Once students have traded all of their tokens in for their goods, they are given paper for providing feedback to the shops. They slip these into the "consumer comments" pockets on the storefronts. They love reading the feedback from their customers! <3 After wrapping up our shops, students are often left with some extra products. Instead of having them take their own products back home, I let them put another economics concept into practice - BARTERING! They have a blast working out "fair swaps" for their products and really working to get the other things they may have wanted but didn't have the money to purchase...and of course, they do all of this while proudly wearing some of their favorite purchases. :) All in all, it is a fun day of learning. Students take their roles as both producers and consumers seriously and come away with a real sense of accomplishment!

I teach on traditional. Will this work for me? ♦ A: Yes! It's super-easy to modify them for traditional. I give you instructions on how to do it quickly! ★ What Teachers Like You Said…★ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Laurel S. said, "This has been a life-saver for me as a first-time economics teacher!

I highly recommend this thorough and in-depth resource!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heather R. said, "We were really looking to expand our ECON program and this has been a lifesaver! It's easy to use, well explained and includes everything needed to really give a strong foundation in ECON. Love it!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Barbara B. said, "This is the perfect resource to help in teaching Economics. All the elements are present including lesson plans with answer keys and components needed for your lessons." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Katrina D. said, "Two words - Life Saver!!! As a teacher who has never taught economics before, and who is a little rusty on the economics concepts myself, this resource has literally saved me! It is creative, logical, and the students are really grasping the information while gaining such understanding that I often hear them transferring the new information to their everyday life. I cannot recommend this resource highly enough, and I fully intend to purchase from this seller in the future. THANK YOU for all the hard work and attention to detail put into this amazing product!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hannah H. said, "I wanted to take a minute this morning to applaud this resource. I have been using this in my SDC classroom with my Mild/Moderate and ASD students. It is amazing and I heartily recommend it to anyone teaching Econ, especially someone who has never in her life studied the finer details of Economics. First, I want to say this is so organized. The instructions are clear, and there's even a table of contents! The entire unit is planned out day by day, although I have to go significantly slower for my students, as our classes are short. But that means I have curriculum and lesson plans for the entire quarter. All the resources come in Adobe and PowerPoint and are easily printable. We have to go digital, and I do have to use Snip & Sketch to make the notes into Google slide fillables, but it is not that big a deal. This resource is engaging, and my students LOVE Willie Wonka as an allegory for Economics. I like the pictures on the notes and they sometimes color them in, which is a great time killer when you are down to two students because the rest of your class was pulled for Speech. Thank you for the PowerPoint about setting up the Interactive Notebook, which is a hit by the way. I have them all trained to grab their notebooks at the beginning of class and just have it, whether we use it or not. I have, however, had to use smaller notebooks, so I have them complete the notes digitally (transferred slides to Google slides) so I can print them out at 86% and then insert them into their notebooks." ★ Want more interactive, ready-to-teach economics?
