Evaluating an Economy’s Health

Students analyze global economic datasets to evaluate the strengths and limitations of different economic indicators. Using evidence from multiple data sources, they determine which metrics best reflect a country’s economic health and justify their conclusions through discussion and written analysis.

All of our lesson plans are created for teachers, by teachers. Feel free to use and adjust this lesson plan as you see fit!
