Consumer and Civic Awareness - Making Decisions

Teachers,

Students are tasked with making a decision of purchasing an item.

In order to become better-informed consumers, it is important for students to critically consider the price of the purchase and different ratings, reviews, and perspectives before making a purchase.

The habit of thoughtfully considering and examining potential purchases helps to determine the best value for money. (Source)
