Process
1. Discuss Cause and Effect. (Predictions)
** "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, he will ask for a ___________," "If You Give a Moose a Muffin, he will ask for a ____________," or "If You Give a Pig a Pancake, he will ask for a _____________________."
** The first part of each sentence tells something that might happen. It is called the "cause." The second part of the sentence tells what might happen because the first thing happened. It is called the "effect."
** "If you finish your work, you may watch television" or "If you stop talking, you may go to recess."
** Identify the "cause" and "effect" of the sample sentences. The student needs to explain that because the work was finished, the effect is that permission was given to watch television. and because the class stopped talking, the effect is that permission was given to go to recess.
** So, now with your partner, make up a cause and effect. "If you clean your car, you may....
** Read the first page of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." Have the students predict what will come next. (If the students are familiar with "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," use another book by Laura Numeroff.)
2. Events of the Story
**** Put the events in order from the story.
Ask a student to name the first thing the mouse wanted. Ask the next student to name the first thing the mouse wanted and then the next thing he wanted. Ask the third student to name the first, second and third things the mouse wanted. Continue this process until the students have named all the things the mouse wanted. (cookie, milk, straw, napkin, mirror, scissors, broom, mop, bucket, little box, pillow, story, paper, crayons, pen, tape)
** Take a sheet and put the events in order on their own - pages 12 & 13 and page 15 from Literature Unit "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and "If You Give a Moose a Muffin."
Now we are going to work on "If You Give a Moose a Muffin." Sequence the events from this story. (pages 22 -23 & 25)
**Compare and Contrast the two stories
3. Goods & Services
** The mouse had many wants. Some of the things the mouse wanted were goods. Goods are things the mouse could touch and use. For example, the mouse wanted a cookie. A cookie is a good. Have the students list the goods that the mouse wanted. Talk about other goods that the students are around every day.
** But not all the things the mouse wanted were goods. One thing was a service. A service is something someone does for you. The mouse wanted the boy to read a story. This was a service. Discuss the services that people do for each other.
** What are some goods and services that you are part of? Do you ever feel like you don't have enough of something. People have unlimited wants for goods and services. We could go on and on. The list could be endless. But, as a human, we have to limit our wants based on money that is available.
** We are going to write an unlimited wants story. "If You Give First Graders a Pencil, ....."
** Take each part of the story and have each student illustrate a piece of the story.
4. Producers & Consumers

** After talking about good and services, discuss the idea of what the juniors do for the school with their junior stand. Discuss how they use goods and provide services. Then, discuss how the concession stand at the fifth and sixth grade is different from the junior stand. Use http://www.econedlink.org/lessons/index.php?lid=457&type=educator and discuss producers and consumers.
