What Students Need to Do

Students tell the difference between a good and a service using Oklahoma examples. They explain how oil discoveries created jobs and business, then show how Oklahoma products sold elsewhere bring money into the state.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain how the Glenn Pool and Oklahoma City oil discoveries helped workers and nearby businesses. They can name current sources of jobs, such as farms, factories, tourism, and Tribal enterprises, and identify beef or aircraft as products sold outside Oklahoma.

On an exit ticket, ask: 'An Oklahoma ranch sells beef to a store in Texas. What is the good, where does the money go, and how could the sale help someone in Oklahoma?'

   Give pairs cards showing wheat, aircraft, hotel stays, and equipment repairs; have them sort goods from services and name Oklahoma workers involved.

3. 03

   Play a matching game with cards for Oklahoma farms, factories, tourist sites, and Tribal businesses, pairing each with a good or service.

   Show a sample order for Oklahoma beef shipped to Texas; students draw arrows for the beef going out and the payment coming back.
