Sections: Economy

A flurry of concepts related to the market type of economy falls upon children. Every modern person must understand a large number of new terms and concepts, be able to navigate the information that comes to us from various sources and use it.
The lesson uses various forms and methods of work, such as work in groups, game elements, individual tasks, work with a graph and table, test tasks.
Students consolidate the skills of working with additional material, the ability to extract basic information from the text and draw conclusions.
When doing homework, a direction is given for conducting an independent mini-research.

Goals:

• To bring students to an understanding of the basic problem of the economy, the limited resources and the boundlessness of human needs.
• Continue the formation of skills to analyze additional literature for the lesson, draw conclusions, establish cause-and-effect relationships between people's actions and relationships.
• Introduce students to new terms and concepts

Equipment: tables, cards, documents, presentations.

Concepts: economic sphere, market, market economy, factors of production, non-economic and economic goods, resources, individual, limited resources, compromise choice.

DURING THE CLASSES

I. Organizational moment: communication of the topic and objectives of the lesson.

II. Repetition of the material covered. Knowledge update

1. Preparation of an oral answer on the cards. ( Annex 1 )

Individual task: Recall the classification of needs according to A. Maslow and draw a hierarchy diagram on the board, explaining to the whole class

2. Work with the class. Game "Continue the phrase"

• All mankind in its history, present and perspective -
• A person within society enters into ......
• The main areas of social life are…
• The stages of development of society are ...
• In the modern world, Japan and the United States have reached the level of ...

• The secrets of technology have received an official name ...

Answers: society; public relations; economic, social, political and spiritual; agricultural, industrial and post-industrial; post-industrial society; services sector; land; "know-how".

Listen to the answers on the cards.

III. Exploring a new topic

Plan:

1. Needs and resources: the problem of choice.
2. factors of production.
3. The "invisible hand" of the market.

Write in your notebook a list of 10 things that you would like to buy, now cross out 5 of them that you can do without at the moment.
Question to the class:
– And now, think, can we satisfy all desires? And why?
Students' responses are heard. We draw conclusions:
Russian poet of the 18th century Mikhail Matveevich Kheraskov wrote,
We never moderate our desires;
Having something, we wish the best.
Since ancient times, people have wanted comfort, entertainment, travel and much more. But to meet all these needs, many more resources are needed than have always been available to mankind.
The ability to have everything on this list is limited by limited funds, resources, free labor. The problem of choice helps to use the available resources most independently, economically. When choosing, a person refuses those goods and services that do not play the role of priority for him at the moment.

Work with the schedule (the graph “Causes of the economic scarcity of natural resources” is drawn on the board)

Limitation- the insufficiency of the volume of available resources of all kinds for the production of the volume of goods that people would like to receive.
Next, the teacher puts real good goods on the table: a bottle of lemonade, a bar of chocolate, a book, and asks everyone to choose what they want to get more now. During the survey, attention is focused on the differences in children's desires, on the desire of each to receive a more valuable good for him, on what kind of need a particular good satisfies. After a preliminary conversation, you can introduce concepts.

Individual- a person with unique needs (thirst, hunger ...)

Good- everything that satisfies our needs. Benefits are divided into:

• non-economic - created by nature
• economic - created by human labor.

To consolidate and correct, students come up with 2-3 examples of economic and non-economic benefits. (For example: the ship grove that inspired the artist for the picture is a non-economic benefit, and the trunks of this grove, cut down for the construction of ships, are already an economic benefit. An essential sign is the work of a person invested in a good.)

Economy - a science that describes the relationship between an individual and a good, since the main part of the good is created in the process of managing a person, it is customary to define economics as the science of rational housekeeping.

Additional questions:

• How does a person try to solve the problem of limitation?
• What resources on earth are virtually limitless?
• What types of goods can a person refuse in the first place? Why?
• What are essential goods? Why?

The table "Factors of production" is displayed on the screen.

Students, together with the teacher, complete the second part.

The completed table appears on the screen.

The class is divided into 5 groups of 4-5 people, each group gets a name in accordance with a resource. The groups will have to discuss what is the limitation of the resource "inherited to them" and what can be done to correct the situation with its depletion.
Speakers make their presentations.
The teacher, together with the children, draws a conclusion about what limitations lead to:

• People began to assign resources to property, i.e. own, use and dispose of resources in order to make a profit.

Profit - the excess of revenue from the sale of goods over the total cost of their manufacture and sale

Working with handouts - a table of types of economic systems. ( Annex 2 )

The poem “Song about the Fair” is heard (advance task).

Students must answer the questions:

• What is sold on the market?
• What type of economic system is described in the poem?

"Song of the Fair"

Leonid Filatov (with changes)

Whether you're a sheriff or a cowboy, here every product is needed
Or a gold digger, - And it is not difficult to sell him,
Let's go with you, even smoke is sold here
To the fair, mate! From the fire of Giordano Bruno.

Although it happens coins Here you can easily find -
Here is a quick leak, Though this product is expensive!
But there was not and is not in the world Not only bird's milk,
Nicer place. But even bird curd.

It's sold by auction Well, in a word, whoever you are,
Whatever you want - Even if the Creator himself -
For example, Spartak's hat is harmless for you to look
And Nefertiti's shoes. To the fair, mate!

Bring at least a broken chest of drawers,
Even a dead hyena -
There will always be that weirdo
Who will ask the price.

Theme 2. Limited economic resources and the problems it generates

Plan: Basic needs of people. Maslow's pyramid of needs. Reasons for the emergence of economic scarcity of natural resources. Limited factors of production and the problems it generates. Property and its main types. Legal rights to property. Factor income. Choice price. Choice determination methods.

1. Basic needs of people. Maslow's pyramid of needs. The first task of the economy is to satisfy basic needs. They are the main formation of the specific needs of people.

Basic vital needs of people: Food; Cloth; housing; Treatment; Safety. All of them are necessary for simple survival.

Maslow's pyramid of needs.

2. Causes of the economic scarcity of natural resources. The economy faces a difficult task: The range of people's needs is wider than the set of physiological conditions of existence.

Humanity has faced limited resources since the dawn of history.

4. Scarcity of factors of production and the problems it generates Scarcity is the insufficiency of the amount of available resources of all kinds to produce the amount of goods that people would like to receive. Limitation is an all-encompassing phenomenon.

The limitation of the factors of production and the goods produced with their help is the main problem of the economy.

Labor Limitation: The number of able-bodied inhabitants is strictly fixed at any given moment. In terms of physical and mental abilities, available skills, only a part of citizens is suitable for performing specific work.

Limitation of land: Determined by the geography of the country; The number of mineral deposits in its depths.

Limited capital: Determined by the previous development of the country, by how much production potential it has accumulated.

Limitations in Entrepreneurial Ability: Not all of us can be entrepreneurs.

Limited resources gives rise to: Emergence of property rights; The problem of choice.

4. Property and its main types. Legal rights to property Property can be classified according to various criteria: According to the form of appropriation Individual (private farm); Collective (cooperatives, joint-stock production); State (national, municipal)

2. By form of ownership: Private (legal entities, enterprises, organizations); joint; State (federal republics, municipal).

3. By subjects and objects: By objects (products, labor force, houses); By subjects (individual citizens, groups, families).

Private property All rights and possessions are assigned by law to one person. For profit or convenience, individual entrepreneurs can combine their properties. Private property may include houses, land, personal property of families, various enterprises.

Municipal property Property on the right of ownership belongs to urban and rural settlements, as well as other municipalities. Here, on behalf of the municipality, the implementation of property rights is carried out by local governments.

State property All objects are not only cities, but also countries available to all residents. Medical centers, buildings of state bodies, etc. These objects are fixed in state ownership, and they are managed by state employees who are appointed to these positions by the president.

Legal rights to property Right of possession; Right of use; The right to manage; The right to income; The right to the "capital value" of a thing; The right to safety; The right to transfer things by inheritance; Perpetuity; Prohibition of harmful use; Liability in the form of recovery (on account of debt) Residual nature.

5. Factor income Factor income is the remuneration received by the owners of factors of production for the fact that they provide them for use for organizing the current production of goods. Labor is wages; Land owner - rent; Owner of capital (buildings, structures) - part of the profit; The owner of capital is interest.

6. Choice price. Choice determination methods. The scarcity of resources gives rise to the problem of choice. People always choose what to spend resources on.

Any choice has its own price, which is called: Either opportunity costs; Or lost profits; Or the price of choice.

The price of choice is the value for a person of the most preferable of the benefits, the receipt of which becomes impossible with the chosen method of using limited resources.

People always answer the three main questions in the economy: What and how much to produce? How to produce? For whom to produce?

Methods for determining choice: Traditional - distribution is made on the basis of traditions existing in society; Centralized - distribution is made from the central body of management of the economy; Market - distribution based on the market mechanism. In most countries, the market mechanism prevails.

Demand Plan Resource Scarcity Production Possibility Curve (CPV) Opportunity Cost Law of Diminishing Returns

What economic concept most accurately characterizes the thought of W. Shakespeare: "... things in themselves are neither good nor bad, but only in our assessment"? Profit Utility Money Needs

Specialization, as a rule, causes: An increase in prices for manufactured products; Reducing the volume of production per unit of time; Increasing the professional-territorial mobility of the labor force; Restriction of production functions of workers

At the Lakomka bakery, the production of cakes increased from 4,000 to 4,800 pieces per day. At the same time, the number of employed workers increased by 20%, and the prices of cakes increased by 40%. How has labor productivity changed? No change Increased by 20% Increased by 40% Decreased by 20%

Maslow's Pyramid of Needs A need is a person's inherent need or lack of something necessary to maintain his body's vital functions, ensure safety or enjoyment.

The range of human needs is much wider than the set of physiological conditions of existence. The emergence of a gap between the material desires of people and the possibilities of satisfying them.

Law of Increasing Opportunity Costs

Petya Sidorov decided to play tennis. Court visits are expensive. With limited funds, Petya will obviously have to give up the cost of meeting other needs. What in this case can act as an alternative cost: - the cost of visiting theaters; - the cost of learning Japanese; - the cost of food and clothing; - the cost of riding?

The Law of Diminishing Returns The continuous increase in the use of one resource in combination with the same amount of other resources at a certain stage leads to the cessation of the growth of returns from it, and then to its reduction.

Factors of production should be used by the enterprise in compliance with a certain proportionality between constant and variable factors. In accordance with this law, a continuous increase in the use of one variable resource in combination with an unchanged amount of other resources at a certain stage leads to the cessation of the growth of returns from it, and then to its reduction.

Which of the following illustrates the law of diminishing returns? Decrease in output as additional resources are involved; Rising unemployment; Crowding out of small firms by large ones; Deceleration of production growth rates as additional resources are involved.
