4 U Pr n a i c t ti 1 ce G : M oa a l k s in a g nd a B B u u d d g g et ets Materials Overhead 1-A The New Restaurant Picture Story Worksheet 1-3: Monthly Budget Worksheet Overhead 1-B: Monthly Budget Worksheet - Answer Key Visuals 1-3: Concentration Game and Budget Activity Clip Art Printed pictures from Part 2 of Visuals 1-3 Calendar Part I: Build a word bank 1. Show Overhead 1-A, the picture of Soo sitting down to make his budget. 2. Look at the amounts shown in the piggy bank and point out that Soo does not save any money. 3. Make a chart on the board with two columns: 1) Get $ (Income) and 2) Spend $ (Expenses). *For this brainstorming activity, lead students to use the vocabulary in Worksheet For column 1, ask students Where/How do you get your money? Write responses (job, social security, etc.). 5. For column 2, ask students Where/How do you spend that money each month? Write responses. 6. After students have generated a list of vocabulary, print out the pictures from Part 2 of Visuals 1-3. These represent each budget item. Tape each picture into your second column. Some will match students responses, but if they do not, show the additional pictures and use related vocabulary words. In Part 1 of Visuals 1-3, you can see which words relate to each visual. 7. To reinforce vocabulary, go through each of the pictures on the board, one by one, and ask students what each picture represents. Write the words on the board. Focus only on discussion at this point. Lead students to the vocabulary words that they will work with in this activity. 8. Go through each word, one by one, and have students listen and repeat the words. Try to do only a couple at a time and then review before moving on to the next several words.

5 Part II Discuss how to plan for bills that are paid yearly, monthly or weekly. 1. Look at a calendar and point to items on your expenses list, like rent, and ask, "When do you pay rent?" Answers may vary but emphasize the point that it is usually paid every month - and show this using your calendar. 2. Then, from your list on the board, ask students, "When do you pay for your vacation? Show that, for example, in July, Soo's family took a vacation to Disneyland, and paid $600. Part III Reinforce vocabulary and budgeting concepts with matching and dictation. 1. Pass out Worksheet 1-3, Monthly Budget Worksheet, and have students work in pairs to complete the first activity, the matching exercise. Check answers as a class. 2. Next, have students turn to page 3 of Worksheet 1-3. From the Monthly Budget Answer Key, Overhead 1- B, dictate the amounts for Soo and Jin's budget for students to fill in. Do not show students the overhead yet. 3. After completing the dictation, have students compare answers, then dictate again a. If students need practice with numbers, dictate the amounts, write them on the board, and have students copy them.

6 4. Next, have students write in the vocabulary words that correspond to the pictures and amounts. 5. Show Overhead 1-B and have students check their dictation amounts. Then, as a class, fill in the related vocabulary words on the overhead. Part IV Review and extension 1. Review: Ask questions about the picture story: for example, "How much is Soo's electric bill?" or "What costs $50?" 2. Extension: To extend this activity and continue practicing amounts, students, in pairs, can ask each other, "What costs?" and How much is? 3. Extension: In small groups, students can play the Concentration Game (see materials). a. Game pieces are on the first two pages of Visuals 1-3. b. Have groups cut up all the pictures and words, and have them match the picture(s) with the correct word(s). One set of words is needed for each group. In Visuals 1-3, words are grouped into two sets of 9-10 words. c. Break the sets of words down into smaller sets depending on each group's literacy level.

Review the picture story. Show how Chen saved money each month and how Soo did not. 2. Tell students they can help Soo save money and open a restaurant in the future. Have students work in groups of three to five to come up with a list of ideas for how Soo and Jin can save $100 a month (the last activity on Worksheet 1-3, page 5). 3. As a whole group, discuss the ideas students generate. 4. Extension: have students complete a budget worksheet for themselves. Tell students to write in their own amounts on Worksheet 1-3, pages 3 and 4 (with pictures) and/or make students a copy of Worksheet 1-4, which is a more detailed budget that they can do with family members who know English. *Because of the personal nature of the information, please do not have students complete their personal worksheet in class.
