Economic Ideas - A Lesson Plan on Trade

This lesson plan is the first in a series of four that looks at economic ideas, and will provide teachers with everything they need to deliver an informative and engaging lesson. These teaching resources include a teacher script, which outlines the key concepts of the lesson, and a PowerPoint presentation that links with the class activities. There are links to both Enterprise and Work Related Learning evident in these teaching resources.

Beginning with the use of food and other implements, the concept of trade is introduced to students. The lesson plan then goes on to outline a student activity that incorporates role playing to engage students and enable them to learn in a different way. By using the PowerPoint to emphasise certain points, the student driven exercise teaches pupils the practicalities of trade. Within the exercise itself, the relevance of currency is explored and students are encouraged to come up with their own ideas once the activity is completed.

As a conclusion, the students work together to brainstorm their findings from the trade exercise, and a worksheet to complete at the end of the lesson is included within the teaching resources. For the rest of the lessons on economic ideas, check out the Enterprise or Work Related Learning sections of our website.
