Computer and projector, newspaper ad for the grocery section

Activity Description

A interactive activity using a grocery ad for meal planning.

Preparation

  1. Check the website to ensure it is not blocked at your site.
  2. Read through the lesson plan.
  3. Print and make copies of any handouts.

How-To

You may ask your students:

How many help with grocery shopping?

Do you make a list?

How many use coupons? 

Do you look for sales?

Do you help find the items in the store?

 

Teacher Tips

I like to have newspaper ads for at least 5 groups. I will give each group a topic to look for.

Example : find me breakfast items.

A group that understands money: What can I buy for a dinner for 2 people, $25.00.

At the end of the activity, each group can share their topic. 

More Ways

If you are using a projector, this works well. You have the ad available for all to see. You can go through activity together and then have students break into groups.
