Lesson plan
Goal
- Students work toward: needs and wants: choosing, because no one can have everything.
Hook (5 min)
- Ask the class: What do you really need, and what do you just want?
- Take two or three answers and write them where everyone can see them.
Teach (10 min)
- Say the big idea in one plain sentence: needs and wants.
- Show one example, then one that is not an example, and ask how the two differ.
- Have students tell a partner the idea in their own words.
Practise (15 min)
- Choose one for the whole class or let groups pick:
- Learn: Needs and Wants (https://peabody.kids/world/money/money-needs-and-wants)
- Print: Needs and Wants (https://teach.peabody.kids/passages/2/needs-and-wants)
- Try: Quiz: needs and wants (https://peabody.kids/practice/hist/money)
Exit ticket (5 min)
- On a slip or aloud: one thing I learned about needs and wants, and one question I still have.
- Sort the slips into: got it, nearly, not yet. Start tomorrow with the last pile.
