Final Assessment
Resources:
· Pictures from newspapers & magazines that depict common human needs and wants (travel brochures and science magazines usually have pictures of “needs” such as water, air, food, shelter/ newspapers and advertisements have many pictures of “wants”)
· Collage template (also used in Lesson 1)
· Paper
· Markers
· Pencils
· Scissors
· Glue
Activities:
· After teaching all five lessons of the Needs vs. Wants Unit, students will be assessed through a collage. Review material before beginning by having a class discussion revolving around the following questions:
· After the students have responded to the questions, place students in small groups. Pass out magazines and newspapers to each group and a collage template (used in Lesson 1) to each student.
· *Instruct students their task is to find pictures in the magazines or newspapers of their needs and wants. They should cut out pictures and paste them onto the collage into the section labeled “needs” if it is a need or “wants” if the picture represents a want. Tell students they can draw in pictures of needs and wants they can’t find in the magazine or newspaper clippings.
· As students finish their collages, ask them to share their collages with the class. Bring attention to specific needs and wants they chose.
· Once multiple students have shared their work, ask students what similarities and differences they noticed between the collages.
· Collect all collages and use the final product, as well as what they shared, to assess what they got out of the unit and if they are leaving with a grasp on the standards and clarifying objectives.

Activities:
· After teaching all five lessons of the Needs vs. Wants Unit, students will be assessed through a collage. Review material before beginning by having a class discussion revolving around the following questions:
- What do all living creatures need to stay alive?
- What do people need to feel loved or cared for?
- What is the difference between something we need and something we want?
- Can you think of some objects you really want, but do not really need?
- What are some jobs that provide us with needs and wants? How do jobs help us meet our needs and wants?
