Lesson 3

March 16,

(Christiana taught this lesson by herself.) For this lesson Christiana focused on the fundamentals of budgeting and saving. This is important to teach because students use these principles in their everyday life (ex: given a certain amount of money to spend when they are about to go buy candy) and will need to develop these skills in their adult life.

To promote the success of the lesson's objectives, Christiana used technology (smart board and interactive website). They had a chance to hear a story about appropriate budgeting and practicing budgeting using tickets. I really liked this idea because the knowledge of money varied greatly among the students but for the vast majority of the students had strong addition/subtraction skills.

I really liked the idea of a constructed response assessment at the end of this lesson because the other two lessons had opened ended response/performance assessment. You could get a more precise representation of the individual development of the class.
