Financial Basics
Hi! Below are desciptions of the three lessons and all materials including lesson plans, notetakers, activities, presentations, and quizzes. There are PowerPoints with and without narration, but inorder to post the narrated version, I had to split the presentation into multiple parts. Finally, once you click the "Enable Editing" button at the top you can edit any and all items to better fit your purpose. Good luck!
LESSON 1: Vocabulary
Words to live by...
This is probably the best lesson to begin with. Even though you may use these lessons sparsely over the course of the year, a basic understanding of financial vocabulary helps students understand the following lessons.
LESSON 2: Budgeting
How much wil it really cost?
It's not easy to keep to a budget but it can be very usefull! Unfortunately, the current generation has gradually lost the skills necessay for sticking to a budget. This lesson reviews those forgotten skills while also giving students an eye opening reality check on how fast money can go.
Lesson 3: Credit Cards
Sign your name on the dotted line...
There are multiple lessons on the dangers of credit cards but this is a more condensed version of the basics of credit cards without any bias. This lesson compares and contrasts aspects of this revolutionary plastic payment option.
As Easy As 1, 2, & 3...
*I had to break the PowerPoints down into part because the files were too big with the narration. The good news is that all the materials have editing capability.
