Lesson Introduction: Understanding the Schumer Box

Hook: The Mystery Box Challenge

Imagine you’ve stumbled upon a mysterious box at a thrift store, labeled “Secrets of Consumer Credit.” Curiosity piqued, you decide to buy it. As you open the box, you find a collection of intriguing items: credit cards with various interest rates, hidden fees, and enticing offers. However, each card has a hidden truth that you need to uncover.

A Closer Look

As you sift through the contents, you discover that each card includes a 'Schumer Box'—a standardized table that unveils essential information about the terms and conditions associated with different credit cards. But here’s the twist: while some items have clear benefits, others come with unexpected costs.

Activity: The Schumer Box Treasure Hunt

To kick off our lesson today, we will embark on a Treasure Hunt through the world of credit cards! Your task is to identify key components of the Schumer Box using the example cards in front of you. Each group will receive a set of cards, and your goal is to:

  2. Compare the features of different credit cards.
  3. Determine which card might suit a hypothetical consumer best based on their needs.

Discussion Points

As we dive deeper into our lesson, keep in mind that understanding the Schumer Box is like having a map to navigate the sometimes confusing world of credit. Let’s unlock these secrets together!
