“We are doing an economics unit. Last week we learned all about money. We thought about what the world would be like if we did not have money. People would have to barter (trade) to get the things they wanted. When we were learning about bartering we did an acting scenario and bartered for certain things. The main thing that we learned was that bartering was definitely not easy. We had a hard time getting exactly what we needed because things were not even. Trading a car for an apple does not make sense. After we learned about bartering we choreographed a dance to show what we learned. The movements we choose represented different parts of bartering. As you watch you will see:
1) Going back and forth deciding what's an equal trade
2) “I’ll give you this, if you give me that.”
3) Celebrating I will get what I want
4) Making the trade
5) Going all over to find what I want and what is equal
6) It's really hard work to barter so I'm tired and going to sleep
The background music is “Price Tag” by Jessie J which says “It’s not about the money” and in bartering you don’t use money. A big thank you to Mrs. Perrault for letting us use some of her time to record our dance.” - Alyssa, Cam, Nicole, Molly
