PROCEDURE
PREPARATION OF THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT: I have set up two
different market places an American style and Tanzania style.
INTRODUCTION AND ORGANIZATION: I will start out by talking about the
roles of the students and how they wake up at 4:30 in the morning to do chores
before going to school. Class starts at 7 in the morning and goes until 10 at night.
The girls are taught to cook, clean, and sow. The boys are taught to be the protector,
so they can protect their property and families. Get out your Venn diagram and see
if you can add more to it. After the students are through filling in there Venn
diagrams, I will ask, How many of you get paid for doing work for your parents?
(Many will raise their hands.) What do you get paid with? (Money.) Do you
mean dollars? (Yes.) In Tanzania they use Shillings. Showing the bills in Dollars
and in shillings. We will talk about how the value of the shilling changes on a dayto-day basis. When you go to the store, how do you get the stuff you want? (Mom
and dad, buy it, ect.) Can you barter at the mall? (No, you can only buy with
money.) Okay, in Tanzania people can barter and use shillings to get what they
want.
IMPLEMENTATION: Today we are going to act out the market place in the
United States and in Tanzania. The market place in the United States will be acted
out, as you would go to the store normally. Then I have a script for the market in
Tanzania and will need volunteers to participate.
CLOSURE: After acting out the skit the class should have a better understanding
of the barter and trade in both cultures. Also pointing out that trade and barter are
necessities to living where ever you may be. To end the assignment the students are
to refer back to their KWL chart on what they have learned from the currency
worksheet and the skit.
