The Free Enterprise System. [Sahuarita High School Career Curriculum Project].
Gentner, Weston L.
A course on free enterprise, part of a high school career curriculum project, is outlined. Seventy-two objectives for the course are listed. An introduction establishes the purpose of studying free enterprise, a state required course, in terms of learning citizenship responsibilities and gaining knowledge of a private enterprise economy. Four general course objectives are listed, followed by the titles of the eleven learning packages which constitute the course. These include: The Idea of Economic Scarcity; Economic Choices; Specialization; The Market System; Government in the Economy; The Consumer in the Economy; The International Economy; The Free Enterprise System; Understanding Taxes; Unemployment - A Social Problem; and Becoming Economically Independent. A reading list, a list of career materials and periodicals in the high school resource center, a list of filmstrip titles on vocational guidance, and a book report form precede the major portion of the guide which contains outlines of each learning package. All packages follow a similar format, consisting of a rationale, objectives, a pre-test, information sources, activities, evaluation, and quest opportunities. Related documents are SO 006 459 and SO 006 461. (KSM)
