4 ACTIVITY 2 – Needs from Wants Learning Objectives • Students will learn to distinguish between needs and wants. • Students will demonstrate how needs and wants are different for different people. Lesson Duration » 60 minutes Teacher Notes 1. Students use the 3 step definition strategy to define a need and a want. Have students share their definitions with peers. 2. Students then have a chance to test their definition of a need and a want. Use an imaginary line in the class and label one end Strongly Agree and the other end Strongly Disagree. Students respond to each statement below by positioning themselves along the agree/disagree line. Give students an opportunity to justify their decision. Statements: "Chocolate is a need." "A new computer is a need." "Friendship is a need." "Sleep is a need." After, students review their definitions of needs and wants. "Clothes are a want." "Clean water is a want." "A holiday to Fiji is a need." Students should write down their new definition of needs and wants, or justify why their first definition did not need to be altered. In the next two tasks, students work in cooperative groups of 2 or 3. Group Task One Key Terms • needs • wants Needs - things we cannot live without. Wants - things that we can live without, but like to have. What determines our needs and wants? We have different wants and needs because of factors including age, health, occupation, environment, location, culture and beliefs. Our needs and wants can change. For example, our needs and wants will change if we: get older live with a different group of people get a different job get sick Introduction Task - Group work Preparation » copy What does my country need? activity sheet move to a new country/town/suburb go to a different school lose our job Ask each group to identify three needs and three wants of one of the people in the list on the following page.

"Which items were most commonly eliminated in the second round? Why?" "Did the members of your group have any disagreements over the items to eliminate?" "Which ones and why?" "What do you think is the difference between “needs” and “wants”?" "Which items on the list were needs? Which were wants?" "Do needs and wants differ for different people?" "Are some people’s opinions and decisions right or wrong?" Conclusion Using a T Chart small groups use the two columns and list opposing facts and features of needs and wants. (see page 72 for a sample T Chart) After a whole class discussion and T chart activity, students individually prepare answers to the questions discussed above and justify their answers when required.
