Lesson Plan

• Describe the eight key determinants of supply and how each shifts the supply curve.
• Explain the reasoning behind supply‑curve shifts using cost and profitability concepts.
• Apply the determinants to real‑world scenarios to predict changes in market equilibrium.
• Analyse the impact of government policies (taxes, subsidies, regulations) on supply.
• Evaluate how expectations and natural conditions influence producers’ decisions.

• Projector and digital slides
• Whiteboard and markers
• Printed handout of the determinants table
• Worksheet with case‑study scenarios
• Calculator (optional)
• Kahoot quiz access

Begin with a quick poll: “Which recent news story might affect the supply of a product you use?” Connect this to students’ prior knowledge of how price movements cause movements along the supply curve. State the success criteria: by the end of the lesson students will identify the key determinants and predict the direction of supply shifts.

1. Do‑now (5'): Students list factors that could change the quantity supplied of a familiar product; brief sharing.
2. Mini‑lecture (10'): Present the eight determinants with examples and a supply‑curve diagram.
3. Guided analysis (15'): In pairs, examine the determinants table; state the expected shift direction and reasoning for each.
4. Application activity (10'): Case‑study worksheet – predict supply shifts for scenarios such as new technology or a tax increase.
5. Check for understanding (5'): Kahoot quiz on determinant effects.
6. Summary discussion (5'): Review key take‑aways and clarify any misconceptions.

Recap the eight determinants and their typical impact on the supply curve. For the exit ticket, ask each student to write one determinant and the expected effect on supply for a product of their choice. Assign a short homework essay linking a recent policy change to a predicted supply shift.
