Role- You will be a sales clerk and/or customer at a local store. You will sale products and/or buy products needed.

Audience- You will dramatic play these interactions with second graders and some local store managers that will consider hiring you.

Situation- Your classroom has previously announced that it will be developing a classroom strip mall to provide for the students’ needs. After the class creates prices and price tags for items needed in the store and store advertisement, you will announce the “Grand Opening Sale”. You will act as a customer or sales clerk (pre-chosen by students) and purchase needed and/or wanted items. By buying and selling store items you will show your ability to recognize the value of coins and bills and be able to exchange them in combinations. You must give exact amounts. Teacher, students and local store managers will be listening, interacting and observing your skills to buy and sell.

Product/Performance- You will dramatic play the buying and selling of items at the newly developed stores. You will write and draw in your money book what you bought/sold, how much it was and the combination of money you used to purchase or sell it. If errors were made you will discuss what errors were made and why it was an error and what could have been done or was done to correct it. You will present your outcomes and book in a final presentation.
