ECONOMICS FOR
SOCIAL STUDIES
TEACHERS

Designed and Presented
by Sarah Shipley
RATIONALE

 Economics = Boring and Terrifying

Now I’m a teacher and I have to teach
 economics.
Praxis
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

  What is the overall impact of the
           economy on (my) life?

Topical Questions:
 How has economics changed over time?
 How has economic theory been influenced by
  history?
 What created the current economic crisis and how
  can we fix it?
BLUE COLLAR BUDGET
Inspired by the Book Nickel and Dimed
by Barbara Ehrenreich.
Place of Work = Wal-Mart $7.50/hour
40 Hours a week = $1200/ month
Living Expenses (Food, Gas, Phone)- $214
Housing—Dun Dun Dun
   St. Mary’s Landing Apartments- Studio
    Apartment $710 a month (includes water and
    sewer)
WHAT CAUSED THE CRASH?

WebQuest about the current economic
 crisis
https://sites.google.com/site/whatcausedthe
 crash/home
CAUSES AND PREVENTIONS
ORGANIZER
Synthesis of everything I learned from the
 WebQuest

What I would hope my students would take
 away from that experience
HISTORY OF ECONOMICS
TIMELINE
Show economic developments alongside
 historical events and cultural movements

Interconnectedness of history


Useful in the future when questions arise
 about an economic theory
FAVORITE RESOURCES

Wikipedia


Nickel and Dimed


A Brief History of Economics:
Artful Approaches to the Dismal Science
WHAT I LEARNED
Content: Economics is actually interesting
 when put in its historical and social context
Self: I am insanely stubborn and love
 structure, I will always make the product
 myself first before giving my students the
 assignment
Professional Development: Time consuming
 and would be better if could be done in a more
 relaxing environment.
What’s Next: Continue with Economics (Need
 more 20th Century); Look into world history
BRINGIN’ IT BACK HOME

Important to help students see the value in
 understanding modern economics
   Use WebQuest to do this


Always link economics to historical setting
 and social events
ENDURING UNDERSTANDING

We each have a role in our economy; each
 purchase we make, or do not make; each
 stock trade that is made, or not made;
 effects our current economic situation. From
 the smallest child, to the oldest adult, we
 make our economy run; therefore, we must
 know how the economy functions to insure
 our prosperity.
