This lesson will have students explore the two systems of ‘Capitalism’ and ‘Socialism’. Students will go beyond the surface level of understanding, and will be prompted to apply their knowledge of these two economic systems to a distant, isolated culture called ‘Ladakh’, who have been dramatically transformed by “development” or capitalism. Students will analyze a documentary film and identify examples of each economic system. Two critical thinking activities are included that will serve to demonstrate their new understandings and have students delve deeper into the economic & political dynamics shown in the film. 1) 'Loop/Web Diagram'- Students will show how the road coming into Ladakh has changed their culture and environment. 2) Debate- In this extension activity students will be assigned one of five perspectives; all of which were presented in the documentary. This activity will prompt students to rethink any assumptions and understandings they may have had tied to the concepts of progress, development, wealth and poverty. Materials: • Lesson Plan • 1 PowerPoint (26 Slides) • Documentary film titled ‘Ancient Futures: Learning from the Ladakh’ • Grading Rubrics • Printable Handouts: o HANDOUT #1: Guided PowerPoint Notes o HANDOUT #2: Economic Cheat Sheet o HANDOUT #3: Economic Labels o HANDOUT #4: Debate Activity

Understanding the Four Economic Industries + Community Service Project

This cooperative learning economics industry and factor of production lesson addresses the four economic industries: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and quaternary Industries. A nation's economy can be divided into various sectors. Understanding these is important in understanding how our nation's economy works. Your students will have fun learning a lot about these industries!

A community service project is incorporated into this lesson. Students bring in food items such as cereal, canned goods, or anything that can be donated to a community food pantry. Make arrangements with the local food pantry to drop off or pick up the items. The items will be used for the lesson.

Students will use higher-level thinking skills to demonstrate how a product can begin in a Primary Industry and end up in the Quaternary Industry, and how each industry can play a vital part in how products are made and distributed.

This lesson includes:

• Detailed teacher instructions
• A PowerPoint on the four economic industries
• Short reading assignment: "From Where Did Your Product Come?"
• Authentic learning experience using real food to understand the four

economic industries.

• Graphic organizer
• Incorporated community service project.
