Financial Lesson for Youngins' (100 points)

Financial literacy is a topic we'd like to see spread out over several years of academia for students, not just on their way out the door. Students in their younger years could use a solid base of understanding certain things to help acclimate to our financial world quicker. This task asks you to create a lesson plan for a 5th grade class that is interactive and lasts approximately 15-20 minutes. The recommended topic would be credit vs. debit, but if you feel as though there is a preferable topic you'd like to pass on in the realm of personal financial literacy, that's fine as well. Either way, I need to approve said lesson. The goal is to pass on what you've gathered these few months to a group of 10-year-olds such that they feel as though they've gained a bit of understanding on the topic you presented.
To complete:
1) Design a lesson plan for 10-year-olds about a financial literacy topic (credit vs. debit will work) such that you have an introduction (a teaser if you will), a body that includes interaction from the students in some fashion, a prop (or props) for the students to view/touch/explore, and a conclusion (closure) that wraps it up and ties to your introduction.
2) Present the plan to me at a time where we could discuss it for approximately 15 minutes.
3) I'll establish the classroom location and time for you to 'present'.
4) I'll excuse you from the necessary classes if applicable.
5) Do it!
6)*it needs to be videoed, so one of your group presenting needs to film the proceedings.*
