The IMF Center of the International Monetary Fund, in partnership with the U.S.'s National
Council on Economic Education (NCEE), has launched an instructional program for
secondary school students about the effects of globalization and the importance of
understanding the dynamics of the global economy. Thinking Globally: Effective Lessons for
Teaching about the Interdependent World Economy are eight classroom-tested lessons on
globalization, comparative advantage, economic growth, exchange rates, and other
international topics.

Lessons #1 and 2 focus on the IMF and its role in the global economy.

Lesson #1: Ten Basic Questions about Globalization focuses on the history, impact and future
implications of living in a globalized economic system.

Lesson #2: What is the IMF and What Does it Do? Introduces the IMF and its role in fostering global
economic stability through monetary and financial cooperation.

Lessons #3-8, on trade, international organizations, currencies and foreign

exchange, are previously-released lesson plans produced by NCEE.

Lesson #3: Why People Trade Students participate in a trading simulation and use this experience to
discover the benefits of free trade.

Lesson #4: Comparative Advantage and Trade in a Global Economy Students observe or participate
in a role-play situation in which one person is better at both of two activities.

Lesson #5: "Hey, Hey! Ho, Ho! Why Do We Need the WTO?" Several activities are used to introduce
students to six international institutions that play important economic roles, especially in the areas of
international trade, finance and development.

Lesson #6: Why are Some Nations Wealthy? Students work in groups to examine data from several
nations regarding size, natural resources and population.

Lesson #7: Foreign Currencies and Foreign Exchange Students participate in a simulated foreign
exchange market. Provides an opportunity for students to use supply and demand analysis to explain
how flexible exchange rates are established in currency markets.

Lesson #8: Exchange Rates: Money around the World Students participate in two auctions to
demonstrate the determination of flexible exchange rates and the need for foreign currency to
purchase goods from other countries.
