Description
Have you been searching for an easy-to-follow, low prep, highly engaging, research-based project for teaching the stock market? If so, this project is for you! Watching my students research stocks, get a little competitive with their peers, and become really invested in the success of their companies is one of the highlights of my semester. I created this project with the intent that students could use the provided materials to not only gain a baseline understanding of the stock market but comprehend relevant vocabulary and put what they’ve learned into practice as they “purchase” (and later “sell”) their own stocks.
I usually complete this project with my students in 1 block period and 1 50-minute period spaced a month apart (so their stock prices have time to change). I’ve included Teacher Advice for Implementation & Grading as well.
The best part is that you can use this entire lesson for distance or digital learning! All student response resources come in a printable PDF version AND a Google Slides version. Students just make a copy and they can use the included resources!
Included Sections/Assignments:
- Stock Market Overview & Explanation
- Factors to Consider When Purchasing Stock
- Preliminary Company Research Guide & Chart
- Stock Purchasing Guide & Chart
- Optional Reallocation Guide & Chart
- Stock Sell Off Calculations Guide & Chart
- 6 Reflection Questions
Versions of the Packet:
- Stock Market Student Copy PDF: If you do not wish to make any changes to the project, you can simply use this version and print off enough packets for all your students.
- Stock Market Student Copy Editable: Allows you to edit the project using PowerPoint or Google Slides if you wish to make modifications.
To reduce tech issues, please be sure to have the most recent free version of Adobe Reader downloaded. More help linked here.
Note: all Google Drive versions appear in the lesson plans of each individual lesson. As of right now, there is no way to copy a folder in Google so for right now you will need to open the lesson plan and make a copy of each digital resource using the provided links and instructions.
Materials Needed:
