I do miss teaching Econ - glad I can still use this human capital lesson with my AVID kids! I love this one. Students play a game to determine their character then interview for a job as that character. Super fun! Full lesson plan included! (30/31) #sschat 🗺️ docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Day 26 is one of my faves - Time Warp: The Explorers where students play out historical stories learning how difficult exploration was. I have students play in pairs and record their failures. It takes some effort to set up the first time, but it rocks!
