Connections to Other Disciplines
The student will:
 try to figure out the importance of the example objects that the teacher
shows the class.
 actively listen to the PowerPoint presentation on productive resources.
 review relevant vocabulary words.
 read and discuss “From Cotton to Blue Jeans” on pp. 154-155 in the
textbook.
 list examples of the four productive resources that are seen in the video
about how to make toothpaste.
 share the examples of productive resources from the video with the class.
After the students share their examples from the video, the teacher will do a brief
review of productive resources by showing the objects she presented at the
beginning of the lesson again. Then, the students will clean up and prepare for the
next lesson.
Lower level students can list examples for two of the productive resources seen in
the video. Higher level students can provide examples of productive resources
used to make one of their favorite goods in addition to the examples from the
video. English language learners can draw examples of the four productive
resources seen in the toothpaste video.
After completing the lesson, students can read teacher selected books and identify
the productive resources used in the story line.
This lesson can be connected to language arts. (Example: Students can create
their own product and write a short essay on how the product is produced. They
will have to identify the productive resources used to make the product.)
