GROCERY VOCABULARY/Money/differences in value

​Grocery Vocabulary/Money-differences in value

​

Objective: Students will learn some grocery vocabulary and gain a better understanding of the relationship between money in Ecuador vs the US

Acitivity: Grocery list comparisons and "Price is Right"

To start, the students are going to split into 2 groups. The groups will then create a grocery list of about 10 items that their families might buy normally and list the price of that item, or their best guess if they aren’t certain. After both groups are done they will read off the items and prices and I will provide a comparison of how much that item would cost in the US. This will hopefully give the students an idea of what the relationship is for the next activity. The second part is the Price is Right. The two groups will be competing against each other. I will describe an item, or it will be shown in the class if the link below works, and the teams will have to decide what they think it would cost in the US and write it on a piece of paper or the white board. After they both show their guesses, I will reveal how much it costs and the team closest will get a point.
