Bellow is my unit plan, and all of the handouts that accompanied it, for the economics unit I did during my internship at Bliss Carman Middle School, grade 8 Social Studies.

I chose to engage the students in economics by using the theme of food and the differences between buying local and buying global. The theme for the unit allows the students to relate to economics and understand it in concrete terms, as opposed to an abstract and theoretical approach.

The final assessment for the unit was a town hall debate that the students participated in. The students were split up into three groups: The Globals, The Locals, and the Mayor and Council Members. The unit and the final town hall debate was a success, and the students were very engaged during the unit, and excited about participating in the town hall debate.









Bellow is a Human Rights handbook I made,with my group, in for Huamn Rights class at St. Thomas University. The handbook was develpoed as a policy guide for a Human Rights friendly school, and how they envision promoting Human Rights at their school.
