This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching students about key concepts related to economics, including benefits and costs of saving and spending. Students will read several texts to help them understand vocabulary like benefits, costs, saving and spending. They will answer text-dependent questions to demonstrate comprehension. Finally, students will create a comic using an online tool that depicts characters explaining benefits to saving and costs to spending, which they will present and discuss with peers. The lesson aims to help students explain personal financial concepts as stated in a second grade standard.
