Financial Literacy Project

[Amy Johnson]

Pat and I are doing a project around financial literacy. We will be
working with different types of informational text, as well as working
with people in the community. Students will be looking at current
events and their affect on the world around them. In January students
will have a chance to use what they've learned to make informed
decisions about buying and selling stocks while playing the Stock
Market Game.
I'm looking for student friendly resources to teach about stocks and
bond. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Amy,

Freetech4teachers.com is probably my favorite educational site; this
guy has resources for everything! I did a quick search for you and
came up with these resources:

http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2011/01/infographic-what-is-stock.html

http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2009/09/from-common-craft-stock-markets-in.html

http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2011/03/video-difference-between-stocks-bonds.html

I didn't explore the links they give, so I don't know how middle
school friendly they are, but I hope this helps!
