Market News Two Reasons for a Price Rise

A price rose. Does that tell us why? Students test two different news stories with a simple fictional supply-and-demand table. Both lead to the same higher price, but the quantities move in opposite directions. Students use those results to challenge a headline and write a more accurate one. Includes English-only and paired English–Spanish pages, answer reasoning, a 35-minute lesson route, a 20-minute route, partner comparison, and an independent exit ticket. No slides, internet, graphing software, or prior lesson needed.
