Introduction
(5 minutes)
- To begin the lesson, ask for student volunteers to tell you about some goods and services their parents have paid for in the past week. Great introductory questions include: What things have your parents bought for you or your family in the past week? Where did those things come from? What services have your parents paid for?
- Explain that today, your class will be learning about three types of resources, or supplies of things, that our community relies on to function: human, capital, and natural.
- Gauge your students' prior knowledge by asking whether anyone can define these types of resources for you.
