These consumer education activities will help secondary students become aware of the social and economic problems they will be encountering after they graduate. Interdisciplinary in nature, the activities can be used in a number of ways. They can be integrated into the curriculum through U.S. history, modern problems, sociology, psychology, home economics, mathematics, and language arts courses. Or teachers could do a month-long unit on consumer skills. The activities have been grouped according to the following topics: surviving on your own; jobs; money; comparative shopping skills; food; schedules and contracts; housekeeping; love, marriage, and divorce; and parenting skills. The activities are many and varied. Some examples follow. Students fill out job applications, write resumes, balance checkbooks, develop a budget philosophy, analyze advertising, plan a well-balanced set of meals for one week, determine the cost of marriage and divorce, and clarify their values about parenting. The kind of information provided for each activity includes an introduction, student objectives, grade level, time required, materials needed (handouts are included), teaching procedures, and debriefing suggestions.
