  4. To Market, To Market by Anne Miranda • Read this wonderful book with your students! • Discuss what a “market” is, then help students identify goods and services found at the market. • Identify how the woman in the story obtained the goods she wanted (money), and where she obtained her money. • Have students connect this story to their own lives – what do they (or their parents) do to earn money, as well as why they need to earn money.

  5. On Market Street by Arnold and Anita Lobel • http://www.econed.org/html/lessons/data/On%20Market%20Street.pdf • This is an alphabet book – great for reinforcing basic letter sounds & phonemic awareness. • This online lesson plan from the Maryland Council on Economic Education includes a great reaction sheet for students to complete after working with the story, as well as several group activities related to the GPS!

  6. No Extra Room on the Mayflower • Using the linked resources, identify how people lived differently in the time of the Pilgrims. • Have students identify what the Pilgrims would have needed during their voyage on the Mayflower, and immediately thereafter in North America. • Use the linked interactive assessment, too! http://www.econedlink.org/lessons/index.php?lesson=EM675&page=teacher

Teaching Unit Three: • Culture • Review how our celebrations of both Thanksgiving & Veteran’s Day are unique and similar to other countries’ celebrations. • Discuss different kinds of celebrations – how some are happy, and some are sad. • Discuss different ways of celebrating, and how different families can each celebrate in their own way. • Help students understand that because of what our American culture values, most jobs are open to most people.
