EDCI 554 - WATT

I selected a second grader to discuss my topic with because I am preparing an economic

lesson for second graders. When I started the discussion with the student, I started by asking the
student if he knew what the meaning of the word economics. The student quickly looked at me
with confusion and was not sure of rather or not he could answer. I let the student know that it
was okay to say, no if he did not know the meaning of the word economics. And then the real
conversation began.
I asked the student if he know the meaning of goods and services were in order to get a
starting point for my lesson. The student was very clear as to what a good was and what was
considered a service. He was able to identify the difference in the words. I gave him a selection
the word soccer ball and getting a haircut. The student was able to tell me that getting a haircut
was a service. It gave me confirmation as to where I needed to begin in order for the students to
be successful with the subject matter.
