 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">To introduce this lesson, I will talk to the students about what comes from walmart
 * o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">What do you do at Walmart?
 * o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">What things do you buy from Walmart?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Foods and Their Origins <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Where do the foods we eat (that come from Walmart) come from? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Learning Station-B (Math)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will be given an array of foods
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">To introduce this lesson, I will talk to the students about what comes from walmart
 * o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">What do you do at Walmart?
 * o <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">What things do you buy from Walmart?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">An array of food products will be laid out for students to look at
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will each be given a map
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will be given access to a computer/lap top
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will look at labels of food products and then research where they are
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will then be asked to mark the places they find and research on their individual maps
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will be given a stack of receipts. They will have a list of items and prices but the totals will be hidden
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will have to figure out the totals by hand and then switch with a partner.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The partner will check the work using a calculator
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The partner will then choose an item or two to “return”, the other partner will have to figure out the remaining total


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Assessment **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Station-A <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> This station will be assessed using the map worksheet students will have. I will look at the list of foods the students have been given, as well as their location on a map. I will then check to see if students accurately placed and labeled the map accordingly.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Station-B <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This station will be assessed based on the paper the students fill out. When they add/subtract the totals of the items on the Walmart receipts, they will be asked to record their work and answers on a piece of paper. That paper will be collected and checked for accuracy and strategy.
