How important is teaching globalization and economic interdependence?

Globalization and Interdependence describes the relationships of mutual dependence between all elements and life forms (including humans) within and across cultures, environments, and social systems. Today, more than ever before, globalization and interdependence are part of our everyday local lives. We are linked to others on every continent even if we don't realize it. We are linked through social media and telecommunications, the movement of people and ideas (culture), international trade, the environment as we share the planet, and through international political relations and regulations. The easiest way to teach interdependence no matter one's age is to address international trade. Help your students understand globalization and interdependence through this lesson Economic Interdependence and Globalization.

This bundle includes vocab and note packet, powerpoint slides, activities, and color by number assessments for four lessons (intro to econ, what is economics, economic systems, american free enterprise system).

It takes five to six, 90 minute blocks to work through everything in the bundle. The format is designed to do key vocab, then powerpoint lecture, then activity, then color by number assessment/quiz. I sometimes use formal quizzes for the assessment and make the color by number warm up activities.

Macroeconomics Escape Room!

Have a fun review of content with these "Government Leaked" documents about macroeconomics. Students will use critical thinking and their knowledge of content to solve 6 different puzzles.

No locks? No problem! This escape can use actual locks OR you use the printable locks in the puzzles and add them to boxes or doors OR just have students write down the answer! Flexible for however you want to use it.

Keys included!

Puzzles over CPI, GDP, Business Cycle, Unemployment, Fed Tools.

Timing when I have run it in class is about 40 minutes. This could increase or decrease depending on the amount of clues I give or not. Some groups have finished as fast as 25 min, some as slow as 50.

Play a fun dice rolling, team building, island exploring, interactive game with students that help them learn about the concepts of scarcity and decision-making!

Students will pick items, decide how to spend their day, and compete to see who can survive the longest and build the most things. But beware, sometimes exploring the island won't get them the results they want.

I hope you enjoy this version of the classic deserted island Economics Scarcity game. I love board games and D&D so I wanted to include some of those concepts and have the choices that students make much more meaningful.

The mechanics of the game are built around a regular six-sided die so that it is easily accessible by everyone.

Includes a welcome page. How to play page. Rules page. Example round page. Trackers for the player and base along with their journal. A google form that walks them through their dice rolls. Island Map. And post activity questions.

Looking for a short simple semester of economics? This is it!

3 Units | Fundamentals, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics

Each unit includes editable powerpoint slides and vocab/note packet, activities for each lesson, color by number assessments that could be made into quizzes, bell ringer questions and more!

Does this take a full semester? No, not as created. Most econ classes have a personal finance unit or international unit as well. This bundle would last until the last 4 weeks of the semester, leaving one months time for an additional unit or projects. This assumes you are also doing a review day or two, and test day.
