This teaching resource outlines a comprehensive guide for a simulation on global trade aimed at high school students. The lesson, designed to take approximately 45-50 minutes, engages students by having them form groups representing different countries, each assigned a 'country profile' with specific resources. Through trade scenario cards, students will negotiate to maximize their economic prosperity, enabling them to explore key concepts such as imports, exports, tariffs, and economic interdependence. The simulation emphasizes real-world connections, allowing students to analyze global trade patterns, evaluate local economic impacts, and discuss the complexities of trade relationships, including comparative advantage and trade balances. This resource also encourages critical thinking and reflection on personal consumer habits in relation to global trade dynamics.
