What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students explain what a government policy was meant to change in a market. They use evidence to trace effects on prices, jobs, or trade at home and abroad, then compare a past case with a recent one.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Given a tariff and a price chart, a student can name the intended benefit and explain a cost for another group. They can identify an effect on another country without claiming the tariff caused every market change.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may assume a policy that helps local producers also helps local buyers. They may treat a stated goal as a proven result, or overlook effects on trading partners.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: A country adds a $20 tax to each imported bicycle. Name one intended effect, one possible unintended effect at home, and one possible effect abroad. Explain each in one sentence.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs price cards for domestic steel at $110 and imported steel at $100; add a $25 tariff and have them recalculate costs.
Compare a 1930 U.S. tariff summary with a recent tariff headline; write who was meant to gain and who might pay more.
Sort farm subsidy cards into intended benefit, unintended domestic effect, and possible effect on foreign growers; defend each placement.
Show an imported banana label; ask how an import tax might change its shelf price and the grower's sales abroad.
