BASIC BANKING: NEXTGEN Personal Finance Simulation Project (Middle School) CCS

If you do not finish all assigned tasks before the end of the class, you must complete them on your own time.  If you are finished early you may work on your Historical Figure Facebook Project Research Page.  If that is complete, you may work on makewav.es, khan academy, typing.com (lessons only), or work for another class.


Please Take This Survey Prior To Starting (Click Link Below)



Bank Accounts – Teens should know how a bank account works and the fees associated; not only the account fees and how they incur (min balance amounts, activity fees, etc.), but also the ATM fees. Young people tend to like to do things online so they can search for a low cost, basic online checking account. And while check writing may someday be obsolete, don’t forget to show them how to write a check and explain how it works. Also, review how debit cards work, how to safeguard all their information, and how too many swipes at the checkout counter can lead to costly and embarrassing overdraft charges.
Please Follow ALL DIRECTIONS on the RolePlay Document located at:

Each student will click the link above and follow ALL DIRECTIONS!  You will be learning, if you have never done it before, how to use an ATM, Write A Check, Deposit A Check, Make A Payment, and Pay Online Bills.  Each activity has a link to a resource or simulation.  You may complete these steps more than once to make sure you understand how to do these simple banking transactions.  

Please click FILE, and MAKE A COPY of this document before beginning.  Make sure you SHARE this document with Mr. Scribner (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit.  Try to use the R.A.C.E. Response Method when answering the questions. (Restate the question, Answer the question, Cite your evidence/examples, Explain your evidence/examples)
