Globalization

Students will simulate interdependence by creating a special baked product important to the people of Spheradell.

Students will revisit concepts from the Spheradell globalization simulation in order to explore production possibilities, opportunity cost, and comparative advantage.

This interactive economics lesson uses a simulation from the fantasy land of “Spheradell” to teach students about trade barriers (embargoes, quotas, standards, tariffs, and subsidies).

After analyzing a historical political cartoon, students will read about government interventions in international trade and work together to analyze the costs and benefits of different trade interventions.

Students will analyze political cartoons that illustrate the relationship between trade protectionism and democratic politics.

This lesson teaches high school students about global trade and government interventions by having them create multimedia presentations (20 slides at 20 seconds each) about chocolate production ingredients.
