Unit on Foreign Investment and Latin America
The lesson plan is divided into four activities. The Introductory Discussion provides context and vocabulary for the lesson and Activity 1 provides an application activity for extension of the concepts learned in this lesson. Activity 2 is intended to raise student awareness of the lesson subject, to introduce larger concepts, and to pose challenging questions. Activity 3 tries that the student applies the concept by making decisions from the point of view of a company that wants to choose a country in Latin America for investment purposes. Activity 4 shows the positive and negative effects that foreign investment could have on the Mexican economy. Mr. Gabriel Leandro, a professor of economics at Universidad Latina de Costa Rica, adapted this lesson plan. His website is www.auladeeconomia.com.
