Activity 1: I Make Money Too
In this activity, students explore the concept of investing through stocks. They begin by brainstorming a list of companies and brands whose goods and services they or their families use or recognize. After watching the video, I Make Money Too, students explore investing as a strategy for saving over the long-term and why people choose to invest in specific companies. They consider the saying, “Buy Low, Sell High,” and interpret a graph of a company’s stock to determine if an investor lost or made money. Finally, the students work in small groups to identify several companies in which they might invest and explain their reasoning to classmates. (from ca-chingusa.org)
