Economics 1 introduces high school students to economics through a combination of practical problems, scientific analysis, and political philosophy. This unit provides more than facts and principles and the explanations and training to use them. It offers skill development in the decision-making process of economics. Part 1 provides a basic overview of economics. Part 2 reviews supply and demand, markets, competition, and circular flow. Part 3 studies what remains of agrarian life in the United States and the various forms of free enterprise. Part 4 investigates the American workers, their motivation, their organization, their experiences, and their contemporary problems. Part 5 discusses the diverse influences on the United States economy.
Lessons are not designed to accompany a specific textbook. They supplement your economics curriculum for the microeconomics portion of the course.
Students read and write for a variety of purposes; evaluate conflicting sources and interpretations; draw inferences and synthesize conclusions from data; interpret graphs, charts, cartoons, and maps; recognize cause and effect relationships; form and defend opinions based upon the critical examination of data; recognize bias; summarize information; and organize ideas related to a topic.
