TIES Curriculum Module

Title: Livin' for the City

Teachers: Raterman, Sims

Business: Habitat for Humanity

Description: This unit is designed to benefit junior to senior high school students by presenting them with three specific, yet thematically connected, areas of study. These areas are: Personal Economics, City Government, and Community Service. Each area of study will require students to gather relevant data, methodically analyze data, and draw defendable conclusions. The main outcome to be achieved by each student is increased awareness of the money required to live independently, the physical situation of their home town, and of the purpose of local non-profit agencies.

Subjects: English/Communication/Language Arts, Technology, Careers/Life Skills/Family & Consumer Science/Vocational, Social Studies/History/Economics/Marketing
