This document provides guidance for teaching students to identify goods. It includes a lesson plan where students will cut out pictures from a worksheet and categorize them as goods or not goods. They will then make collages of goods by cutting out pictures from magazines and gluing them onto paper. Finally, students will share their collages and explain how the items are examples of goods. The goal is for students to learn to distinguish goods, which are possessions and articles of trade, from other things.
