Economic Foundations and Global Trade Unit | English & Spanish

Start with scarcity and economic systems, then connect competition and trade to decisions closer to home. This unit includes the North Carolina economy supplement as well as the five numbered lessons.

Lessons included:

- Scarcity and Opportunity Cost

- Economic Systems and Circular Flow

- Competition in the Market Economy

- Global Interdependence

- Free Trade and Trade Blocs

- North Carolina’s Economy

Each lesson includes student materials and separate teacher guidance, explanations and keys. Use the teacher guide to select the teaching sequence, prepare student copies and identify optional practice. The collection includes printable PDFs, editable Word documents and PowerPoint presentations, with English-Spanish classroom materials.

Plan over multiple class periods. The files include alternate formats, language supports and practice choices; they are not a requirement to assign every page or project every slide. These same lessons are included in the complete EPF curriculum. If you own that curriculum, you do not need this bundle separately.
