The Economics of Brexit is a modular series of lesson plans prepared by the European Union Delegation to the United States. The lessons are developed by educators to support history and social sciences curricula in the United States for grades 9–12; they can also be adapted for middle school students. Each lesson is accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation, along with additional information to support the presentation. The six lessons in the series are titled “Geography of Europe,” “Cultural Diversity,” “History of the European Union,” “Structure of EU Government,” “Euro and the Economy,” and “Single Market and Trade.” The lessons are updated periodically to correlate with new developments in the European Union. The lessons can be used as standalone units or as a series.
