Rationale:
Students who are legally prepared to drive and purchase a car are generally
deficient in the consumer skills necessary for car ownership. Making
students informed citizens will deter them from being taken advantage of
and enhance their future purchasing decisions. However, the skills
obtained by participating in this project are useful to students of all
ages, including adults. In addition, elements of the module address
the following Illinois State Standards: 4
(language arts), 6
(math), 15 (social
science), 22
and 23 (health).
