5/9/12 - I loved doing the concept attainment activity! - Students were absorbed in trying to figure out what the two columns might be. - They came up with all kinds of creative ideas! Love it! - I love how they all had an aha moment and said 'Ohhhhhhhh' when I finally gave them a clue. - I knew some students would be silly and say 'I NEED my ninjago lego set to live or else I would die.' However, it was clear that they were just being silly and they understood the difference between a need and a want.

5/10/12 - I love starting the lesson with concept attainment. It gets students thinking! - I'm glad I didn't give away the meaning of the terms 'goods and services' right away because the students were able to come up with it on their own. - We had a rich discussion about which jobs produce goods and which provides service. - I like the follow up activity because it was quick and it was right on target of whether or not students understood. - The lesson took just the right amount of time too!
