Open-ended Inquiry: Show the image to students and engage them in inquiry. First, ask them what they see in the image. Their answers should reflect evidence in the image and words. Then ask: What do you think this is about? Student answers should include inferences they make based on the evidence they see in the text. Finally, ask them to come up with their own questions by asking them what they wonder about the image. Students conduct online research to find answers to their own questions.

What are the similarities and differences between the banks of yesterday and today? Here are some Florida Financial Literacy standards-based questions. Some of the questions use the How Will My Savings Grow calculator. Use the News Extension Activity
