Jobs People Do
| In Unit
VI students will examine characteristics of our basic
economic system -- jobs, needs and wants, goods and
services, buyers and sellers, and trading (markets).
Students will explore the jobs that contribute to the
production of goods and services, and they will trace
the sequence in the manufacturing process. Students will
also look at ways people work to meet their needs and
wants as well as ways work has been changed by
technology. They will begin to develop an understanding
of the value of money in our world.
Critical Questions:
- What are goods and services?
- How are people able to meet their basic needs and
wants?
- What kind of choices must people make to meet
their needs and wants?
- What is the sequence of the manufacturing process?
- How has technology changed the way people work?
- What jobs contribute to the production of goods
and services?
