I used an economy social studies booklet that came with our social studies materials. I chose five of the words that were listed as vocabulary words: economy, goods, services, consumers, and producers. I started with the word friendly definitions and then did a Power Point presentation where I used photos with the vocabulary word on each one of the slides. I made several slides for each vocabulary word. I had the students say the word as they looked at the photo. Then the students took turns explaining how the photo related to the vocabulary word that was on it. I also made a flip chart using the Promethean board where the students had to place the vocabulary words that related to the photo on the photo and explain why they chose that word. Other activities I used were: "Example/Non Example"; "Word Association","Generating Examples"; "Word Relationships", and "Writing". The students enjoyed the Power Point presentation, the group work, and the Promethean Board flip chart activities the most.
