Lesson Idea Name: Economics
Content Area: Social Studies
Grade Level(s): 3rd Grade
Content Standard Addressed: SS3E1 Define and give examples of the four types of productive resources.
1. Natural (land)
2. Human (labor)
3. Capital (capital goods)
4. Entrepreneurship (risk-taking and combining natural, human, and capital resources in an
attempt to make a profit)


Technology Standard Addressed:
1. Empowered Learner
Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency
in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences. Students:
1. articulate and set personal learning goals, develop strategies leveraging technology to achieve
them and re ect on the learning process itself to improve learning outcomes.
2. build networks and customize their learning environments in ways that support the learning
process.
3. use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to demonstrate their
learning in a variety of ways.
4. understand the fundamental concepts of technology operations, demonstrate the ability to choose,
use and troubleshoot current technologies and are able to transfer their knowledge to explore
emerging technologies.

Selected Technology Tool:
☒ Socrative ☐ iRespond ☐ Quizlet ☐ Plickers ☐ Kahoot! ☐ Office365 Forms

URL(s) to support the lesson (if applicable):

Technology that student will use to respond to questions/prompts:
☒ Computer ☐ Hand-held student response system (like iRespond) ☐ Phone ☒ Tablet (such as iPad)
☐ Other wireless device (such as iPod Touch)
Type of session:
☐ Teacher-Paced ☒ Student-Paced

Bloom’s Taxonomy Level(s):

Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
This will be used to gauge students understanding. This technology will be used as a more engaging way to
do a quiz type of worksheet rather than with pencil and paper.

Describe the instructional activities that will occur PRIOR to the SRT activity and how you will introduce
the SRT activity.

 Student Response and Assessment Tools
I would have gone over these things in class a day or two before hand. I will use this as a tool to assess their
knowledge.
Describe the purpose of the SRT activity (check all that apply):
☒ Assess prior knowledge ☒ Anticipatory set (Create interest in a topic) ☒ To illuminate common
misconceptions ☒ Formative assessment of content knowledge (for purpose of differentiation and
mastery for ALL students) ☒ Summative assessment of content knowledge ☐ Test preparation
☐ Survey/Poll ☐ Discussion starter ☐ “Homework” collection ☐ Other (please explain):

Briefly describe what will happen DURING the SRT activity:

The students will be answering the questions. The teacher will be monitoring this progress. The materials
needed are some type of electronic device. The activity should last from about 20-25 minutes.

Type of questions/prompts used in this activity (check all that apply):
☒ Multiple choice ☒ Multiple select ☐ True/False ☐ Yes/No
☒ Short open-ended response or fill-in the blank ☒ Longer open-ended response

If you are unable to provide a working sample of your questions, please list them below (8-10):

Right/Wrong answers: Will there be right/wrong answers to these questions?
☐ Yes ☐ No
☒ Mixed (Some will have correct answers, other will not.)
Immediate corrective feedback: Will you pre-select correct answers to some of all of the questions and
display correct response to the class after the SRT activity?
☒ Yes
☐ No
Why or why not?
I want them to be able to be able to see the correct answers and read why they are correct. I do not want
them continuing on in the lesson being confused and not knowing the correct answer.
Describe what will happen AFTER the SRT activity?

I will look at the results and go over in class what we are having misconceptions on. Then, if the students
seem to have a firm grasp on this information I will give have the students become their own Entrepreneur
and create their own business which will incorporate all of the aspects in them. (Human, Natural, Capital).
How will the data be used?
The data collected as a result of this activity is what the know or do not know about productive resources. It
will be used by me to assess where they are with the content and if I need to spend some more time talking
about it or If I can go on and give them the project. This will not be for a grade, this is just for data purposes.
None of the data I collect will be shared, it is for my own personal use. I will discuss the data with the students
but only to show what people are not understanding and why we are going to go over it again. I will use the
data to differentiate instruction for students. The students who seem to have a firm grasp on it, I will go
ahead and allow them to start brainstorming ideas on their business.

Describe your personal learning goal for this activity.
I have not tried gaining information and insight to what the students know through this tool before, so I am
excited for that. I am expecting to learn and see how the students are progressing with the material and to
see if the way I am teaching it the students are understanding. I say this because I might be teaching the

students in a way they are not understanding, so I might need to change the way I am teaching for them to
understand.

Reflective Practice:
I think this lesson is more targeted on finding out what students know and do not know. They are not
particularly learning the information because they should already know it. However, this tool could help them
cement what they were confused on. If I wanted to use this lesson to be an introductory lesson, I would of
incorporated more pictures and videos and a lot more examples.
