Instructional Ideas

  • As an extension, have kids come up with their own restaurants and short menus; they can identify the natural resources, human resources, and intermediate goods necessary for their imaginary restaurant

Classroom Considerations

  • You will need to purchase or borrow a copy of Little Nino's Pizzeria by Karen Barbour
  • While some of the economics vocabulary words are complex, the way in which learners are introduced to these terms is reasonable for the target age group; some pupils will still need additional assistance in understanding the terms

Pros

  • The lesson procedures are very detailed
  • Comes with a Venn diagram that includes a word bank to support students as they fill out the organizer

Cons

  • None
