| Subject: Economics |
| Lesson Topic: Definition of supply-side policy |
Learning Objective/s:
- Describe the purpose of supply‑side policies and how they shift the LRAS curve.
- Identify at least three typical supply‑side measures and their immediate effects.
- Explain how supply‑side policies can improve productivity and reduce structural unemployment.
- Evaluate the potential trade‑offs of supply‑side reforms.
|
Materials Needed:
- Projector or interactive whiteboard
- Slide deck summarising supply‑side policies
- Handout with key definitions and a policy‑effects table
- Whiteboard markers and chart paper
- Laptop for teacher demonstration
|
Introduction:
Begin with a quick poll: “What can the government do to make businesses more productive?” Connect responses to previous lessons on aggregate demand, then state today’s success criteria – students will define supply‑side policy, list common measures, and explain their impact on long‑run aggregate supply.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑now (5’) – Students write a brief answer to the poll question; teacher collects responses.
- Mini‑lecture (10’) – Define supply‑side policy and display the LRAS shift diagram.
- Interactive activity (12’) – In groups, match typical measures to immediate and long‑run effects using the provided table; groups present findings.
- Case study analysis (10’) – Examine a real‑world example (e.g., tax cuts for firms) and discuss expected outcomes.
- Guided practice (8’) – Complete a worksheet applying supply‑side concepts to a new scenario.
- Check for understanding (5’) – Quick quiz (Kahoot/exit ticket) with three questions.
|
Conclusion:
Recap how supply‑side policies aim to boost productive capacity and shift the LRAS curve rightward. Students write one policy they consider most effective as an exit ticket. For homework, research a recent supply‑side reform in their country and prepare a short summary.
