Student Activity 1. Have students make a Venn Diagram with “Ox-Cart Man” on the left and “My Family” on the right. Have students discuss ways the family in the story met their need for goods. Compare this with how families meet their need for goods today. Record similarities in the middle of the Venn Diagram. Record differences on the sides.
Student Activity 2. Children will compare and contrast goods and services from the book to present time
Student Activity 3. Children will retell the story in their own words about how their life would be if they lived in colonial times.
Student Activity 4. Children will grow new potatoes from an existing potato.
Student Activity 5. Using advertisements from a paper, children will cut out pictures of items they want and glue on a piece of paper (with the price). After they are finished, each child is “given” ten dollars. They will add up their purchases and anything over ten dollars is crossed out. If the child ends up spending exactly ten dollars, askthem if they will be consumers again and why.
