Three recurring themes are found in "Choices and Change in Life, School, and Work" lessons for fifth and sixth grade students: human capital development; personal decision making; and participation in the labor market. The teacher's resource manual contains 15 lessons grouped into units, linking 3 lessons to a broad generalization about economic themes. Each unit begins and ends with a guiding question that frames the intended outcome and includes examples of children's literature to develop the three aforementioned themes. The manual is divided into the following sections: Unit One--"Improving Human Capital Opens Doors of Opportunity"--(1) "What if I Do Not Have the Skills and Knowledge I Need to Produce?"; (2) "How Can I Improve My Human Capital?"; (3) "What Results When People Improve Their Human Capital?"; Unit Two--"Making Better Decisions Increases Opportunities for Success"--(4) "How Can I Make Decisions about My Future?"; (5) "How Can I Improve My Ability to Produce What People Want?"; (6) "What Results When People Can Produce More?"; Unit Three--"Finding Better Ways to Produce Satisfies More Wants"--(7) "Can I Produce Something People Want?"; (8) "Can I Use Physical Capital to Produce More Things People Want?"; (9) "What Results When People Use Improved Physical Capital Resources?"; Unit Four--"Working with Other Has Many Benefits"--(10) "What Are the Advantages of Working with Others to Produce?"; (11) "Can I Learn to Work with Others to Produce?"; (12) "What Results When People Work Together to Produce?"; Unit Five--"Finding Success through Setting Goals, Overcoming Obstacles, and Planning"--(13) "Why Should I Set Goals and Plan to Achieve My Goals?"; (14) "How Can I Overcome Obstacles to Achieve My Goals?"; and (15) "What Results When People Set Goals and Plan to Achieve Their Goals?" Appended are a glossary of economic concepts, vocabulary terms, information about using decision grids, and information about the circular flow model. The student journal booklet helps children keep track of what they are learning and enables them to develop a perspective for the entire set of lessons. The journal pages include readings, worksheets, and activities that make connections and assess student understanding of the economic concepts and guiding questions. Some of the activities in the journal include role playing as a teacher at Sagres (navigation school founded by Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal); income data; home and community education survey; cost and risks of emigrating from England to America in 1763; human capital for production; new technologies; the Industrial Revolution; and future careers.

Revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide with translations in 29 languages. After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with heart. Despite having no formal qualifications or previous experience in the field, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet blog post, outlining the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed. The post gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million readers worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, Bronnie subsequently wrote a book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, to share her story. Bronnie has had a colourful and diverse life. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if we make the right choices, to die with peace of mind. In this revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide, with translations in 29 languages, Bronnie expresses how significant these regrets are and how we can positively address these issues while we still have the time. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying gives hope for a better world. It is a courageous, life-changing book that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live.
