What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students trace how goods and parts move between countries. They explain how trade can lower prices and create jobs, but also leave workers and buyers exposed to supply delays and job losses.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Given a car factory that buys chips from abroad, a student can explain how those chips help the factory make cars. They can also explain what happens to workers and car buyers when chip deliveries stop.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think every import takes away a local job, or that cheaper goods help everyone equally. They may not see how a problem at a factory abroad can affect workers and prices at home.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: A local car factory buys lower-cost chips from abroad, but deliveries stop for a month. Name one benefit of buying the chips and explain one effect on workers and one on car buyers.

Ways to Teach It
Give groups cards for U.S. cotton, Indian fabric, Bangladeshi sewing, and U.S. stores; have them arrange the steps in order.
Ask students to write: If a store switches to cheaper imported shoes, who gains, who may lose, and why?
Play a matching game with cards showing delayed parts, slower production, fewer work hours, and higher prices.
Show a banana label from Ecuador and a coffee bag from Colombia; ask how delayed shipments would affect local grocery shelves.
