The Lesson Plan
Introduce the lesson:
As a class discuss the importance of comparison shopping. Discuss the
pros and cons of online shopping.
Teach the lesson:
Bring various print advertisements to class. Point out the differences
in ads as to how they vary in content. Display transparencies using
the overhead to show vocabulary words related to shopping.
Practice the lesson:
If the classroom has Internet capability, have each student go online
to search for items similar to what they have located in the print
media. In small groups, students will discuss the bargains they located.
As a whole class, students might enter a “contest” to see
you made the best deal.
Assess the lesson:
Students will individually complete a K-W-L chart
to discuss new vocabulary they learned from the Internet activity.
Apply the lesson to the real world:
Students should be able to make more informed shopping decisions and
understand how to compare items for the best deal.
