Happy Friday! Today we focused on another theme of Social Studies: economics. We defined economics, currency, development and per capita income. The "Economics in Europe" sheet with all of these definitions can be found here. We looked at a map representing the per capita incomes of all of the regions of the world and discussed our reflections when viewing this. Then, we browsed two books- Material World by Peter Menzel and What the World Eats by Peter Menzel- and reflected on these books using questions. The students were blown away to learn about the spectrum of economic difference in the world and even in Europe.
Homework: Complete the "after section of your economics notes sheet. On the back of this packet, write a reflection on what you felt or thought looking at these books today.
