Ben and I discussed what he learned during Economics so far this year. Then, I introduced Ben to the McGraw Hill Economics book. I directed him to look through the table of contents and to find a few units that interest him. He chose Resources for Global Trade and Personal Financial Literacy. We read through the introduction and essential questions for Resources for Global Trade. I asked Ben to read. He really struggled with the first few words, so I offered to read. First, we focused on how trade benefits all interested parties. We discussed how trade benefits the importers and the exporters. Next, we explored a map of the World Trade Organization. I pointed out the Gross Domestic Product and the GDP per capita for each. We discussed what might happen to the GTO over the next 10 years. After that, we discussed why nations trade and the American dependence on trade. We explored the chart which included raw materials, who sources them, and what they are used for.
