Family Connections: (take home activity)

1. The Purchase Analysis sheet: This homework assignment will be to make a list or
observation of ten purchases the student or his or her family made, and a brief
statement of whether it is a need or want, as well as if it fits the scope of the
students goals.
2. Study Vocabulary: Learning the terms and definitions from this section and
memorizing them for future use (and a quiz, too).

Assessment Plan: (how do you plan to assess whether or not students mastered the
skill/concept?)

1. At the beginning of the next class we will have a quiz on the vocabulary terms
from the first section.
2. The students will turn in their Purchase Analysis worksheet. I will go over and
grade each sheet; then, on the class after its graded I will call each student to my
desk to return it and briefly go over the material with her/him to make sure they
understand it individually. This will allow me to dedicate time to specific students
who are struggling.
