Opportunities for Assessment
• Students name their society, create and earn money, then produce goods. They sell goods or perform services in markets. Students are able to experience supply, demand, price, value, economic choices, opportunity cost and use the terms in a meaningful way.
Our Mini-Society Experiences
Mrs. Kidd’s class named their society

Winterville
Students created class money in Math when we studied money and we voted for our
currency.
Then we went to work
Blake, Levi, Adrian, Dylan, David, and Brandon worked
together
Students bought materials from our warehouse paying with class
cash and became producers.
Mrs. Kelley’s class made products in school and at
home
Some students produced goods
and sold them in class.
Students earned class money by doing homework,
class jobs and chores at home.
Finally, our market day arrived!
Snoopytown
