What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify goods that Oklahoma businesses grow or make and services that businesses provide. They explain how new or growing farms, factories, hotels, Tribal enterprises, and military installations bring jobs and spending to Oklahoma.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student identifies wheat and factory parts as goods and a hotel stay as a service. They explain how a growing business pays workers and brings money into nearby communities.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may call a hotel room a good because they can see it, or call wheat farming a service. They may think visitor spending helps only the hotel, not its workers or nearby businesses.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: A new tribal-owned hotel and an Oklahoma bakery open. Name one good and one service they provide, then explain how either business could support local jobs.
