Day One:
 When the students come in I will have a bell ringer up on
the projector. I will ask them what their ideal economy
would be like. Would it be like the United States economy
or similar to the economy of Russia or China? Why?
 We will go over the bell ringer seeing what each student
comes up with for their ideal economy. (5 minutes)
 This will lead into our discussion about Capitalism and
Socialism.
 We will have a discussion about what they have read for
Closure:
Assessment:
homework and we will create some notes on Capitalism
and Socialism.
 We will discuss what these two different economies are
about and how they operate and where they might be in
place today. (30 minutes)
Day Two:
 Today we will start out with another bell ringer which will
be on the projection screen on a PowerPoint. It will have a
quote on it and I will ask students to analyze what this
quote might mean.
 We will go over the bell ringer hopefully getting us into
the idea of communism. (5 minutes)
 I will then have students take a pre-test quiz which they
will decide whether they want to take it under a capitalist
economy or a communist economy. They will write that
on the bottom of their quiz. I will have them put the quiz
under their chair
 Once students are done we will go through a quick
PowerPoint on communism and we will end with a 10
minute clip on anti-communist propaganda. (25 minutes)
 I will then have the students take their quizzes back out
and we will go over them (5 minutes)
Day One: Once we finish up some notes I will have some
announcements to make on the projects that they are working on.
Day Two: Once we are finished going over the quiz I will wrap
up with my M&M activity on the differences between capitalism
and communism. (5 minutes)
Both days will be covered on an assessment that has already been
completed by students. We will be having a test on Nationalism
and the Industrial Revolution on Tuesday 12/9.
Reflection: These two lessons went great. The students seemed a little discourage about
all the notes that we took on the first day on Capitalism and Socialism. But today the
students learned about Communism and we did an activity showing the difference
between Capitalism and Communism. The students really enjoyed that activity. The one
thing that I would change about this is to spend a little more time, or at least have a day
where we can summarize and review each one of these terms. They are very important to
understand, but I did give them some visuals and worksheets to help them study these
terms and to understand the differences between them.
