This resource focuses on the concept of monopolies and their impact on consumers and competition. Through a guided activity titled 'See - Think - Wonder', students will analyze a scenario where a single company controls the market for a vital resource, such as oil refineries. The lesson encourages students to explore the consequences of a lack of competition, particularly in how it affects prices and consumer choices. Students will participate in discussions and reflections on how monopolies eliminate options for consumers and limit freedom in a market.
