This is my final plan of this unit. It incorporates what the students have learned in the other lessons to help them solve the problem posed in the first lesson. The students will share what they have learned about economics by creating a budget and sharing it through a digital story.

1. Creativity and innovation 4. Critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making 2. Communication and collaboration 5. Digital citizenship 3. Research and information fluency 6. Technology operations and concepts

 * **Grade Level: 3rd Grade** |||| **Unit: Economics** ||
 * GOALS ||
 * **Content Standards:** 3.2.tpi.4. create a personal budget that allocates money for spending and saving. ||
 * **ISTE NETS-S**
 * Instructional Objective(s):** Students will use what they have learned about money and wants and needs to create a personal monthly budget that will help answer the problem that was posed at the beginning of the unit. Using digital story telling the students will be able to show the items and services they would allot money for during a month. The students will learn how to locate pictures on the computer or take pictures if necessary and write a script that explains why they chose what they did. ||
 * ACTION ||
 * **Before-Class Preparation:** To prepare for this lesson the teacher will need to have a prepare part of a digital story that goes along with economics. The teacher will also have a budget created to use as an introduction. The teacher will have come up with jobs and a monthly salary for each, this will be put on a flip chart. The teacher will create a list of monthly expenses for the students to use. The teacher will also need to make sure they have an EA or SPED teacher to help them assist the students. The teacher would have already done another lesson that used digital story telling so it will not be a brand new tool. ||

 * 1) After the students either figure out what it is or the teacher tells them, the class will discuss why having a budget is important. They will also look at the most important parts.
 * 2) Students will now use the list of want and needs from the last lesson to prioritize what they should spend their money on from high importance down to low.
 * 3) The teacher put up the flip chart with the names and salaries of the jobs covered. The students will get to go to the board and tap a colored box that will reveal their job and salary. The students will have to use the salary they pick to create their budget.
 * 4) Students will now be given time to adjust their list if they feel they need to do so.
 * 5) The teacher will show the students the digital story she has started and let them help her add to it. This will be a review of digital story telling for the students.


 * 1) Students will spend the day in the computer lab looking for pictures they want to use and making a list of items they cannot find and need to take pictures of.
 * 2) Students will compile pictures and write a script to go along with them. It must explain what they have chosen to put in their budget and why.
 * 3) The students will be given a couple of days to complete their digital stories.
 * 4) Students will share their stories with the class || -Example of a monthly budget

-paper -pencil -list of monthly needs and wants

-digital story created by teacher

-computer lab || Accommodations and Extensions: The SPED students, especially those who did not chose to work with anyone with have one on one assistance. Jennifer, I love this lesson! I think the students will really enjoy getting to go up and choose their job. I think it will be fun because they will not know ahead of time what job they will get. I like how you will have them write out a script first so that they will know what to include in the digital story. I think that this will be a great way to connect this topic to the students real life. -Lindsay
 * **Notes:** This lesson will probably take about a week because it has several parts to it that require time. Also, since this is a third grade inclusion class I will need at least one to three EA (Educational Assistant) to help monitor this lesson. ||
 * MONITOR ||
 * **Ongoing Assessment(s):** The students will be monitored throughout the lesson and graded on the contents of their digital story.
 * Back-up Plan:** If the computer lab is taken, which happens often, I will try to get the COW (Computer On Wheels) or use classroom computers. I will use double dosing time if extra work time is needed. ||
