Puppet Economics
gives step-by-step instructions for guiding students as they write their own
original puppet shows and learn economic concepts along the way. In the
process:
- Students learn about economic decision making as they
plan the plot and create the characters for their show
- They make choices about production and resources as
they design and create the puppets
- They experience specialization and interdependence when
organizing for production
- They learn about consumers as they market their show
- They see the value of human capital as they rehearse
and present their show
This is an outstanding program for elementary through
middle school aged students. Works well for school classrooms or home-schoolers.

the most significant events in United States history, the purchase and
exploration of the Louisiana Purchase. The
Louisiana Purchase is an interdisciplinary unit that will
help bring this historical event to life for fourth- and fifth-graders. The
lessons in the unit offer a variety of teaching strategies and activities
that address social studies content and skills, communication arts skills,
and process skills required by the Missouri Show-Me Standards. |
