    The document outlines a lesson plan for an economics class to assess students' prior knowledge of economic concepts. The teacher will have students complete a worksheet with questions about basic economic topics. They will then discuss the questions as a group and assign reading to provide definitions and facts. The lesson will involve reading, learning vocabulary, research, and creating graphs and charts. The teacher plans to differentiate instruction for English learners and special education students by modifying lessons, grouping students, and adjusting based on daily needs assessments. The overall goal is for students to understand fundamental economics.

    Determining Prior Knowledge

    Juan Hurd

    National University
    It is an assumption that teenagers should have some basic understanding of finances with

    regards to everyday life. However, once students reach the twelfth grade and take the Economics

    course, the subject matter may exceed their current level of understanding. With that said, as the

    educator of this class I must assess every students current understanding of what is economics.

    At the beginning of the new semester I will be able to determine their knowledge by

    creating a worksheet that has several questions regarding the following, in which the students

    must complete in class.

    • What is economics

    • Scarcity

    • Economic Systems

    • Money

    • Productivity

    • Labor

    • Cost Benefit Analysis

    • Economic Institutions

    • Exchange and Trade

    After the students have completed the worksheet, we will discuss the questions and their

    answers as a group. Students will then be given a reading assignment that will provide basic

    factual information and precise vocabulary regarding the topics being discussed. According to

    our text, “specific facts are needed for adequate comprehension” (McKenna, M.C. & Robinson,

    R.D (2014) Teaching Through Text, Reading and Writing in the Content Areas. Pearson pg 79.

    This specific lesson plan will consist of reading, understanding of economic vocabulary,

    researching of pertinent information and creation of specific graphs and charts. I will provide
    examples of such material so that the students have a clear understanding of the aforementioned

    assignments and expectations.

    The accommodations that I would utilize to assist English Language Learners and Special

    Education students will vary from “modifying lessons based on individual learning ability, group

    students together by a shared topic or ability, and to assess those students needs on a daily basis

    and to adjust the lesson specifics according to their needs” (20 Differentiated Instruction

    Strategies and Examples).

    In conclusion, our duty as responsible and ethical educators is to assess our students on a

    daily basis. I must prepare myself to adjust any lesson plan to ensure that my students have

    obtained the necessary content in order to proceed with the next lesson. Educators must provide

    the correct attention in order for our students to succeed academically. Economics is a difficult

    subject that the majority of students have never heard or discussed the content matter. My goal is

    for the students to have the ability to fully understand and explain in depth what the basic

    fundamental economics is really about.
