Our continued Rendezvous day included an economics lesson in
bartering. We discussed early money systems, and how trade
worked in the early days in Colorado history. Students were to
bring a few items to trade among the classes. Some made very
creative and interesting projects, while others opted to find
treasures they were finally ready to part with in the hopes of
finding new treasures. Students were also required to decide
about some advertising strategies including descriptions of
their goods, storefronts with persuasive twist, and strategies
to talk about their goods while trying to make a sale.
