Teaching Practice: Jobs for Juniors - Helping to Make the World Go ‘Round! INTRODUCTION
This is an interdisciplinary unit designed to increase students understanding about the importance of service related jobs in our community. If used in its entirety, students learn basic economic principles, they define and differentiate between goods and services, investigate the many human resources of a community, conduct research about “municipal” jobs, and create infomercials for their specific helper job in the classroom. This is a fun and engaging unit which easily relates to the children’s lives.
