 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">**Introduction**:

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Students are provided with 2 post-it notes. On one they are required to write a need they have and on the other to write a want. Students then bring these to the front of the class and stick it on the subsequent side of the whiteboard, needs/ wants.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">As a class, discuss these answers, making any changes needed. Identify the types of words chosen (majority will be nouns, but some may be verbs ‘running’, ‘watching movies’, ‘shopping’ etc.) || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">2 post it notes per student

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Pens/ markers || <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;">7 mins || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Teacher asks class if there are any ways they could think to organise their needs and wants and categorises them accordingly. Where any needs or wants missed out? Could any suggestions be needs and wants? E.g. we need clothes, but do we need the expensive surf brands? We need shelter/ a house, but do we need a mansion with two swimming pools?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">**Body:**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Teacher then opens an IWB page with the heading needs and a list of words: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Water, shelter, movies, food, skateboards, friends, shopping, warmth, family, education, computers.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Students are to identify which words they consider needs and justify why.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">On the next IWB page, as a class, brainstorm a list of wants and write them up.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Class collectively constructs a definition of products and services and adds these to the classroom dictionary for later reference.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Attention should be paid to ensuring the difference between individual needs being met, e.g. if one is thirsty, they get water from their fridge or tap, to community needs being met through the necessity of a water company and plant. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">IWB
