This activity is a stock investment simulation. It is a fun way for the students to see how everyday activities, news and happenings around the country can impact stock prices. This will have the students make decisions if they want to keep, sell or buy stock based on what is happening around the company. The real-life implications are significant, because investors in real life have to make these types of decisions and often react with emotion instead of fact and long-term perspectives on the stock. In this project, students use $1800 to invest in a fictitious company Ravioli Den. The teacher will then progress through a series of slides, describing current events impacting the value of investment. At each interval, the student will have the option to buy or sell shares, and then students will complete this worksheet regarding their decisions and the value of their investment. Teachers, you must access the answer key for materials you need to facilitate this activity.
