This is a high school level economics lesson which discusses governmental intervention in the market (specifically the U.S. capitalistic/free-market model). Oftentimes students struggle in classes such as Economics due to the binary choices they provide. There is either a right answer or a wrong one, so if you don't understand a concept, it can become fairly easy to fall behind, as the class builds upon each prior concept. This lesson provides students an opportunity to master the concept in 4 (at least 4 listed, students can provideoter examples if it fits.) seperte ways. Each student still has to answer three fundamental questions but the expression of each, and the ways students can go about learning about the concept are unique to student. INTASC Standard 3 deals with creating learning environments conducive student growth, and that is exactly what this lesson intends on doing as it eliminates the binary constrictors of student expression, and consequently understanding.
Another part of creating a learning environment which is conducive to student growth, is creating one that feels safe to them. This can be achieved in many ways, but one such way is through active communication with parents which, in turn creates (most of the time) healthy interactions between the student and the educational setting. Having parents trust/rely on you as a teacher also makes your job easier as you don't have to specifically fight what the parents have been saying about you at home with their child. This is an example letter to student on the first day of school which hopefully establishes that environment.
