Abstract	Part of the Master Curriculum Guide Project, the document presents strategies for teaching economic concepts as related to basic business and consumer education in secondary schools. The objective is to provide detailed classroom lessons illustrating ways economic ideas can be taught at differing levels of difficulty. The 18 lessons are concept-based and can be modified for use in existing curriculum. They seek to develop economic literacy from the standpoint of the ways economic concepts are used in the decision-making processes of consumers and business managers, and how these decisions affect individuals as wage earners and citizens. Procedures such as group discussion, case study, comparison, analysis, simulation, systematic decision making, and evaluation are suggested. Sample lessons are entitled: "Consumer Marketplace Decisions,""Competing for the Consumer's Dollar,""Mass Markets, Advertising, and the Product Cycle,""Market Simulation-The Big Apple,""An Evaluation of Income Tax Provisions," and "Shaping the Budget of a Local Government." Title, time required, recommended grade level, major and related concepts, instructional objectives, rationale, materials needed, teaching procedures, evaluation, and student handout sheets are listed for each lesson. A glossary of concepts is appended, covering basic economic concepts, economic systems, problems, microeconomics, macroeconomics, the world economy, economic institutions, and measurement concepts. A bibliography suggesting supplementary materials and sources of information concludes the document. (CK)
