When we use stories, movies or poems to teach it, then students begin to realize why learnding decision making (i.e., economics) is so important. "Caps for Sale" is a great way to teach some of the principles. Last summer, I discovered how wonderful the movie "You've Got Mail" is for teaching Economics.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I'm currently a librarian, but I began with a degree in Economics and spent some time as a high school social studies teacher.campbelehttp://campbele.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12388307.post-15201683901229302212008-07-27T10:47:00.000-04:002008-07-27T10:47:00.000-04:00I never thought about teaching this in elementary school, but it's a great idea.
