During our current social studies lesson sequence, fifth graders examined the difference between face to face and non face to face markets.  There were definitely pros and cons to both!  In cooperative groups, students became experts on one type of non face to face market.  As a group they will create an informative poster to share their knowledge with the rest of our class.

With so many non face to face markets to choose from, it is also important to make sure that items can be purchased safely.  Have you or someone you know been a victim of fraud?  We will explore this concept as well as ways to use the internet and social media sites safely!
