Students were asked to take a pretest of their knowledge of Economics .
Then the class read this opinion piece about young people and work Local Kids would rather play Xbox than make money shoveling. It’s pitiful.. The class then discussed the piece.
Next, students were given a graphic organizer to help them think about their future goals (further below). Students are to create an illustrated timeline based on this graphic organizer for next class (30 point summative assignment).

Your (Financial) Future (What
do I want? Where do I want to be? What don’t I want?): Timeline
Your future begins now, and now, and now.
Choices you make today and tomorrow will affect your tomorrow and all your
other tomorrows. While eating a tub of ice cream right now may create immediate
satisfaction, it may also limit your choices for later. (Yes that is a
simplified metaphor.) Dream big! But, if you don’t plan big, it’s unlikely you
can fulfill those dreams. What do you think will make you happy? When you know
where you’re going, it’s easier to find the path that will get you there.
After creating some goals for your future,
you are to make an illustrated timeline of your goals. Your timeline should
include choices you will make in order to help make your goals reality. Use the
back of the sheet to list common (or not so common steps to achieving goals).

|||||
Will you need to
do or not do something in order to achieve a goal (live the vision you have
later in life)?
|
|||||
What do you want
to spend free time doing? What do you know about these activities, do they
require any special tools, equipment, monthly payments?

Who will be part
of your life?

your vision and dreams:
