Abstract:
Students are transported into the future where they "become" 19-years-old, work a full-time minimum-wage job, live independently of their parents, and pay their own bills. Through this simulation students learn the realities of financial independence while earning money, making decisions that will affect them financially, and balancing their checking account as they deposit and withdraw money.
Description:
I will present this simulation using a PowerPoint and handouts. Questions and interactive discussion will be encouraged throughout the presentation. The "Your Future" simulation involves no use of technology by the students, but is a very innovative and valuable unit of instruction.
