Teacher Notes
I haven't had a chance to test out this lesson, as Lesson 10 and 11 were wished together the first time I taught it because I ran out of time. But this should be enough for a 75 session.
Make sure to unpack the questions in Task 3 so students understand the risks of borrowing money. Also chat to them about shopping around for the best interest rate when borrowing money. Talk about what to do when trying to decide which loan to pay back, the big one being the student loan vs other loans. Remind them that student loans are interest free, so you just pay back the amount of the loan. Since there isn't that pressure of interest, you're better off paying of a loan that has interest first because that one will cost you more money in the long run.
You can also use this as a lesson to look into other types of borrowing like the "buy now, pay later" schemes.
Again, Weekly Check-In Do Now can be swapped. Could always move Task 2 or 3 in as the Do Now.
