WHAT IS
ECONOMICS LESSON PLAN
Teaching Materials
Process:
It is important to give the students examples of the various units in the economy. How the family, a business, and the government act are all different; however they
do have one thing in common -- they all act in their own self-interest. We need to study economics to look at how they use
their resources, in their own self-interest, to satisfy their wants and needs.
Print out the lesson and either
let students read it themselves,
or use the lesson for teaching a
basic introduction lesson on
economics. Concepts introduced
include scarcity, wants, needs,
goods, services, labor, capital,
business, and government.
