of the first line of inquiry-

Group 1

The story on oranges

Mehr, Snehal, Lavanya & Devansh

 

Once there was a retailer. He had no oranges so he went to India. He asked a wholesaler if he could buy 100 boxes of oranges and the price was 10,000 rupees. So the retailer took the oranges. One day a customer comes and asks for 25 oranges. The price was Rs. 1250. The customer was surprised but wanted them so bought them. The supply was low and the demand was high. The retailer needed oranges and the customer wanted oranges. The background of the role play was accompanied by gymnastics and music.

to sell lemonade.

Chehak, Diya and Aditya.

 

Once there was a girl who was trying to sell lemonade in the park. She had 50 glasses of lemonade but there was a crowd of 68 people. So after that what she did increased the price. But then no one wanted to buy such an expensive lemonade so then she close the stall and went back home.

 

Demand is more and supply is less.

Need is the money for the girl and want is the lemonade.

 

 

Group 3

Cookies for sale

Anushhka, Ishani, Manas, Shivani.

 

There were two girls scouts who sold cookies but nobody would buy it because it was expensive and there were not many cookies. One day while they were selling cookies, Kate fell down and all their cookies went into waste. They needed more of butter cookies because more people liked those and less people liked the vanilla cookies. Then the scouts quickly called the wholesaler and ordered more butter cookies. Kate and Samantha decided that they will make the demand less and supply more. Soon the wholesaler came and gave the cookies. The scouts started to sell the cookies and everyone bought it because we had their favourite cookies and it was also very cheap.

 

 

Group 4

Hurricane in America

 

Pratham, Aryan and Manguru

 

One day a hurricane hit America and all the oranges blew away. Then the seller of oranges bought oranges from India since he had none. The seller started selling oranges very expensive. So no one wants to buy it anymore. Less supply, prices are high and demand is low.
