ENGAGE:
1) Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing
EXPLORE:
Activity 1: Decision Making
Instructions: Students play a game where they have to make decisions based on
scarcity. They the dice, move their game piece, and encounter different scenarios
where they have to make choices. They discuss the social consequences of their
decisions as a group.
Assessment Questions:
1) How does scarcity affect decision making?
2) What are the social consequences of making based on scarcity?
3) How can rational choice theory help predict the social consequences of decision
making?
Significance: This activity allows students to analyze real-life scenarios and apply
the concept of rational choice to predict the social consequences of decision making
based on scarcity.
Instructions: Provide students with case studies that involve decision making in
situations of scarcity. They analyze the case studies, identify the social
consequences of the decisions made, and discuss how rational choice theory can
predict these consequences.
Assessment Questions:
1) How does influence decision making in the case study?
2) What are the social consequences of the decisions made?
3) How can the concept of rational choice help predict these social consequences?
Instructions: Divide the class into groups and provide them with different scenarios
involving scarcity. Each group has to act out the scenario, make decisions based on
rational choice, and discuss the social consequences of their choicesRubric
Assessment Questions:
1) How did scarcity influence the decision making in your scenario?
2) What were the consequences of the decisions made?
3) How can rational choice theory help predict these social consequences?
EXPLAIN:
) Teaching Strategy: Lecture and Discussion
Explain the concept of rational choice and its connection to predicting social
consequences. Engage students in a discussion about the factors that influence
decision making and how scarcity affects these decisions. Encourage students to
share their insights and examples.
ELABORATE:
Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning
Task 2: Debate
Students participate in a debate on a current issue related to scarcity and decision
making. They research different perspectives, prepare arguments, and engage in a
structured debate discussing the social consequences of different decisions.
EVALUATE:
Teaching Strategy: Differentiation
Question1: Describe how scarcity influences decision making and the social
consequences that may arise. (Written response - 10 pts)
Question 2: Analyze a case study involving scarcity and decision making. Identify
the social consequences and explain how rational choice theory can predict these
consequences. (Essay response - 15 pts)
Assignment:
1) Guiding Overview: Research Assignment
Students are tasked to research and write a report on a historical event where
decision making based on scarcity had significant social consequences. They need
to analyze the factors that influenced the decisions, discuss the social
consequences, and evaluate the role of rational choice theory in predicting these
consequences.
2) Guiding Overview: Opinion Essay
Students are asked to write an opinion essay on a current issue related to scarcity
and decision making. They need to present their perspective, support their
arguments with evidence, and discuss the potential social consequences of different
decisions.
Question: Choose a historical event where decision making based on scarcity had
significant social consequences. Analyze the factors that influenced the decisions,
discuss the social consequences, and evaluate the role of rational choice theory in
predicting these consequences. (Essay response - 30 pts)
2) Opinion Essay:
Question: Select a current issue related to scarcity and decision making. Present
your perspective, support your arguments with evidence, and discuss the potential
