 * Economics**
 * Opportunity Cost**

The lesson will engage students with the economic ideas of opportunity cost, scarcity, and choice. These are the foundations of economics, and therefore it is of the utmost importance that students understand them before moving onto other topics. In order to cater to a variety of students who learn in a variety of ways, this lesson will use a wide variety of mediums. The instructor will define and discuss the terms used in the lesson, students will work collaboratively in groups, class discussion will broaden student's understanding of these terms, and both print and video will be used to reinforce and deepen student's knowledge. Students will also be asked to produce a short paper (most likely to be finished as homework) in order to demonstrate their mastery of the content. This will be done through the students successfully identifying and describing two real-world examples of opportunity cost, which will prove that knowledge of the content has progressed to a level of deep understanding.
