Suggested Buying Stocks Lesson Plan

Give an introductory lesson about stocks to your students.

Explain that one way that they can save their money is to invest, and one way that people invest is to buy stocks.

A stock represents ownership in a company. For example if you own 1 share of McDonalds stock, then you are an owner of McDonalds (though a small one!)
