Purposeful and Transparent
Insurance and medical terminology can be daunting for students. Activities are structured so that information processing, vocabulary development and discussion are a natural part of the learning.
Contextual
Students often have many questions about health insurance and which plan is actually the best choice for them. By doing these activities, they will be able to compare several plans and state their reasoning for choosing the appropriate plan for their family.
Building Expertise
Charts are used as graphic tools to scaffold learning and build understanding of comparison and difference.
