Students analyze an assortment of popular inventions to determine whom they are intended to benefit, who has access to them, who might be harmed by them, and who is profiting by them. Then they re-imagine the devices in a way that they believe would do more good for humanity. During the first 90-minute class period, they evaluate and discuss designs in small groups and as a class, examining their decision-making criteria. Collectively, they decide upon a definition of "ethical" that they use going forward. During the second period, students apply their new point-of-view to redesign popular inventions (on paper) and persuasively present them to the class, explaining how they meet the class standards for ethical designs. Two PowerPoint® presentations, a worksheet and grading rubric are provided.

Here are some fun activities that can be done in the Financial Literacy classroom as Ice Breakers to start the year: Tell Me What This Means - group project that students can work through together to figure out financial messages; Sure Fire Ice Breakers- a big variety; Would You Rather- fun way to start the year and get to know your students; Fin Lit Bingo- allows students to get to know each other; Truth About Millionaires- this could be a fun way to get the students discussing wealth, myths and open up the class with each other; Draw the Logos- students could have fun drawing these logos from memory. You could have a discussion about business, marketing and the influence of these companies on our shopping mindset (and how easily we recall their logo, which means we are more likely to buy their products)
