11th Grade Economics Activities (by date, oldest first)

5 Macroeconomic Activities. Each activity is one page, front and back side. Each activity (except the research one) has a KEY included as well as a teacher page about how I usually implement.

• GDP - what is included?
• GDP - Calculating it based on the expenditure approach
• Business Cycle - Drawing it and matching recession / expansion indicators
• CPI & Inflation - Using prices and CPI, calculate the rate of inflation and then compare prices for a movie ticket, car, and gallon of milk
• Unemployment - short research project with four questions students will answer

Play a fun dice rolling, team building, island exploring, interactive game with students that help them learn about the concepts of scarcity and decision-making!

Students will pick items, decide how to spend their day, and compete to see who can survive the longest and build the most things. But beware, sometimes exploring the island won't get them the results they want.

I hope you enjoy this version of the classic deserted island Economics Scarcity game. I love board games and D&D so I wanted to include some of those concepts and have the choices that students make much more meaningful.

The mechanics of the game are built around a regular six-sided die so that it is easily accessible by everyone.

Includes a welcome page. How to play page. Rules page. Example round page. Trackers for the player and base along with their journal. A google form that walks them through their dice rolls. Island Map. And post activity questions.

Keys included!

Timing when I have run it in class is about 40 minutes. This could increase or decrease depending on the amount of clues I give or not. Some groups have finished as fast as 25 min, some as slow as 50.

This is an intro to economics activity I use in class. It helps students understand the concepts of scarcity and having to make economic choices.

How can you tell if a country is considered developed or developing? What are the characteristics or socioeconomic indicators of a country that you look at to determine if they are developed or developing?

This is a high-level thinking skill lesson that requires students to be actively involved in their learning experience. This lesson discusses what determines whether a country is developed or developing. Students will work in groups to create graphs depicting socioeconomic indicators--such as life expectancy, literacy rate, annual income, available technology, and medicine,--for various countries. Students will analyze the graphs to determine if each researched country is considered developed or developing and why. This not only encourages students to think outside the box but also reintegrates basic graph reading skills needed for state testing. Students are actively involved in every aspect of this lesson.
