Lesson Plan Format:

Teacher: Brieanna Grade Level: 3rd

I. Content and Standards:

a. 6.2.3.A Identify goods, services, consumers, and producers in the local
community.

b. 6.3.3.A Identify goods and services provided by the government.

II. Prerequisites: Students should have the understanding that in order to purchase
objects, money is required.

III. Instructional Objective: After listing the things that their families like to buy, as well
as services that their families pay for, students will be able to sort at least five given
examples into either a good or a service, as well as correctly answer four questions
about goods and services

IV. Instructional Procedures:

a. Before: start out by giving students each at least two small cards and have them
work together with their table to see which cards relate and which cards do not
(this is a formative assessment for the teacher to see which students are able to
easily identify what is a good and what is a service) give them no more than 10
minutes to do this activity. Once they are done, tell them to leave the cards where
they are, and explain that we will come back to them at the end of the lesson

b. During: Start by asking students how they decided to sort their pictures and why.
Then ask students to list items that their families like to buy, be sure to add in
your own examples as well to keep students motivated. Explain to students that
these are items that meet the needs for food, shelter, clothing, etc. Then ask
students to share some services that their parents might pay for, like a hair cut,
or a baby sitter. Once the list is complete, explain that these are services.
Services are jobs that someone might do for another person. Ask the question of
any chores that students might have, like setting the table for dinner, feeding a
pet. Then ask students to talk about some of the things that parents do for their
children (cook, clean) and talk about how these services are a little bit different
because these are things that we do not pay for.
 c. After: In order to close out the lesson, allow students to take a look over their
cards that they sorted, and nominate two people from each table to write the
definition of goods and services. Once that is completed, hand out an exit ticket
to students to use as data to see which concepts students might be struggling in

V. Materials and Equipment: Examples of goods and services for each student to sort,
large chart paper,

VI. Assessment/Evaluation: students will be assessed using their exit tickets, as well
as which side they put their two examples

VII. VII. Differentiation: give B.P, M.I, I.S, H.R, and A.K extra examples to challenge
them a bit more, as they are sorting them, ask them why they are putting them into
specific piles

VIII. Technology: No technology is needed

IX. Self-Assessment: To be completed after lesson is over.
