1)[| The City] I received "The City' resource binder in 2010. I would use this resource in an Accounting class as a way to break students away from the textbook and apply accounting to their everyday life. The interactive resource has 8 characters that it follows during different stages of their lives. Students would each become one of the city characters and complete the worksheets based on these characters' lives. Students would still be applying accounting terms and completing balance sheets, income statements, and worksheets based on their character's assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. I would use this resource with students as they will find this more beneficial then simply filling in the remainder of a balance sheet from a textbook because they would be able to picture using accounting in "everyday life." This resource is beneficial to a teacher as it has lesson plans, student handouts, worksheets, and overheads.

2) [|Book - Managing Your Money by Canadian Dollars and Sense] This book is a guide to help navigate adults and students through confusing issues of personal finance. Each chapter builds upon the other and teaches the reader steps on how to save money and get out of debt. The overall goal of the book is to help people learn how to manage their money so that they can ultimately obtain financial security and economic success. I would use this resource in the classroom as a teacher since the book doesn't have enough details in each chapter to fully explain its points to a student. I would use this book to teach Accounting 10 and 20 classes by using certain chapters to plan units around. For example, my first unit would be an introductory unit to accounting and I would use chapter 1 "setting realistic expectations" to help students brainstorm what their largest expenses will be when they graduate high school and then create a 5 year goal worksheet. Another example is in chapter 3 "putting together a budget" where students could make a worksheet to calculate and display a budget for themselves when they graduate high school.

3) [|Jeopardy Game] I created this jeopardy game in 2010 for an Accounting 10 unit plan for Module 1E: Financial Statements. I would play this game with my students to help them review before the test. The game reviews all the major terms, financial statements, and types of accounts. It also involves application of the accounting concepts by choosing debit or credit. This resource is beneficial to a teacher since I could use some of these questions for different units, provide the link to students to help them study, and use it if I ever teach a unit based on Module 1E. This is a teacher resource to help review content before a test and to assess whether or not students are learning the content. This is also a student resource as it is an interactive study tool to use at home.
