Teach your students about the positives and negatives of Capitalism.

Capitalism is an economic system that can provide many benefits to a society, however, it can unfortunately provide some disadvantages. Benefits include, economic freedom, growth and innovation, while drawbacks include social inequality and environmental degradation.

This resource guides students through conducting their own research report on either a capitalist country or a major company of the world (suggested topics are listed). After choosing a topic to focus on, students are asked to conduct research using the Internet and books while following criteria. Next, students are asked to share their learning by creating a poster board, presentation board, power point presentation, or dodecahedron (Instructions and Pentagon Template included). Artwork may also be created to further display learning. Finally, students present their work to the class.

Can be done in partners. Printable Evaluation forms included!

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts.
