Instructional Activities

1. Review the content from the previous session.
   
   
2. Explain that countries have different levels of economic activity based on their natural resources. Display the following list of levels of economic activity, and provide examples of each:
   • Primary — dealing directly with resources (fishing, farming, forestry, mining)
   • Secondary — manufacturing and processing (steel mills, automobile assembly, sawmills)
   • Tertiary — services (transportation, retail trade, informational technology services)
   
   
3. Distribute photos reflecting the three levels of economic activity in a selected country, or arrange for students to use the computer lab to access such photos. Instruct students to divide a large piece of poster paper into three columns and label the columns: Primary Level of Economic Activity, Secondary Level of Economic Activity, and Tertiary Level of Economic Activity. Direct the students to paste or draw in each column pictures of at least six items that accurately reflect that type of economic activity in that country.
   
   
4. Assign a teacher-selected reading, worksheet, or other reinforcement activity, using available teacher resources.
