3 We will not be using Cornell Note Taking Format Today! Big Idea for Today: TANSTAAFL “ There Aint No Such Thing as a Free Lunch!” as a Free Lunch!” Take one step at a time to success in Economics!

4 Please use a piece of scratch paper to answer the following Question: How does the teacher use examples from Star Wars to reinforce the following economic concepts of : Scarcity, Choices and exchange?

5 Group Members Names: ___________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ How does the teacher use examples from Star Wars to reinforce the following economic concepts: (Please give specific examples and write a short paragraph for each): Scarcity: Choices: Exchange

6 Your group is building a new zoo. You have to decide what animals to have. Space is limited. You get 25 acres. Take 45 minutes to make your selections, based on the next slide. Each group will be given a copy of slide 3. Use pencil first in case you need to erase. Final draft quality! This is a “challenge” for points in contest and formative points in synergy. Be creative-add pictures/artwork if you have time

7 Lion - 2 acres Turkey - 1/10 acre Giraffe -1 acre Seal - 1/2 acre Camel - 1/2 acre Cheetah - 1 acre Cow - 1/3 acre Monkey - 1/2 acre Asian Elephant - 1 acre African Elephant - 1.5 acres Reptile House - 5 acres Hammerhead Shark - 1/2 acre Kangaroo - 1/2 acre Tiger - 1 acre Whales - 3 acres House of Birds - 5 acres
