Who Am I?

Formative Assessment:

· Who is a consumer?

· Who is a producer?

Instructional Strategies or Activities:

Provide each student with a picture of a consumer or a producer. The pictures might include a woman pumping gas, a man working on an assembly line, an automobile salesman, a child in a cafeteria line, a farmer, and so on.

Play a game of charades in which each student performs the action shown in his or her picture. As each person’s action is guessed, list the actions on the board or overhead in two columns. In one column, list producers and in the other column list consumers. Do not put headings above the columns.

After each student has had a turn, ask students to decide what the actions in each column have in common. Brainstorm with students headings for the columns.

Summative Assessment:

Evaluate students on their participation in class discussions.
