Part four in a series of elementary level economics and consumer education teaching resources, this guide is designed for use with fifth and sixth graders. The first section identifies concepts and related objectives, defines relevant terms, and lists audiovisual and print resources related to each concept. Key concepts include basic economic principles and the role of the individual within our economic system. Specific consumer education topics for this level include banking, credit, savings, and taxes. The bulk of the document contains activities grouped according to specific concepts and related educational objectives. The activities include group and individual projects ranging from creative writing to community interviews and fill-in-the-blank questionnaires. Some of the written exercises can be used as evaluation items. One activity involves students in a week-long analysis of television and newspaper advertising. Students record information about where the ads were seen and what types of advertising were used. Then they discuss what the ads promise, whether the promises meet student/consumer needs, whether more information is needed, and where the student/consumer can verify reputability of the advertisers. Each series of activities is accompanied by a listing of relevant children's literature and Florida state-adopted textual resources. (AV)
