Developing Projects

This site from Intel: Innovation in Education describes how a unit on trade can be developed into a class project.

The Curriculum Framing Questions suggest some important connections between this online unit and the activities suggested in this module:

Essential Question: What distinguishes one community from another?

Unit Questions:How is trade important to our community? How does physical geography affect the economics of our region? Content Questions: What products do we import and export, and where do they from and go? What modes of transportation are used for trading? Part Two of this unit seems to be particularly relevant to this module:

Trade and Economics: Where did it come from? Where did it go? There is also a simulation activity in which students practice trading.
