they do not in a short sentence or two.
How will the students be actively engaged? Students will show what they already know/do not
know about working for income. They will relate the lesson to their own lives.

for the next three days. They will have to explore the classroom for material they will need and
where they will need to perform their job.

great way to keep students engaged in the lesson.

will have in the classroom and how they should be done.

How will students be actively engaged? They will be engaged because they are working for
