4. Read pages 168 and 169.
a) Ask students what is one job they see in the photographs.b) Explain the importance of education for learning skills to work at different
jobs and doing a job well.
c) Hand out paper and art supplies.d) Have students draw a picture of a place where a consumer might shop.
Emphasize the importance of doing a job well while completing this portion
of the lesson. This is their job as they are the producer.
5. CLOSURE: Allow students to discuss their choice for drawing in small groups. Review the
terms producer and consumer and what each do for the economy. Ask students if they
were paid for their art work, what do they think they should receive by way of a grade?Have students place the grade they think they should receive on their paper.
F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding?
Student assessment will be from class participation and from their drawings.
Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson.Students will identify consumers and where they make purchases by class discussion
and their drawing of a place where a consumer might shop.
G. Reflection:1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach?
I think the independent portion where students are creating a picture of a produce
will be the easiest portion of this lesson to teach. Students at this level should be
engaged when asked to draw a picture.
2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach?I think the reading of the text and class discussion will be the most challenging partof this lesson to teach, because it involves student participation. If students are
unfamiliar with shopping, it might be hard for them to understand the difference
between a producer and consumer, or what each represents.
3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson?This lesson can be extended by using the TE p. 170 and 171 regarding the first
farmers that lived in Mesopotamia.

4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts?I will use the Reteach Minilesson where students can create a list of producers
and consumers and illustrate.
5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change?I might change the part where students draw a picture of where consumers shop,
although I do like the idea of asking them what they think their picture would be
worth should they want to sell it as a producer. I think other closing activities could
be incorporated as well.
6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part?The suggested lessons in the teacher's edition are very easy to follow, however, I
found that finding the right closure activity to be the most difficult part of this lesson.
I wanted to make sure that students understood the objective of what a consumeris and where they can be found.
