| | PBS - STORE WARS: For Teachers (Lesson 1) |
 | | In the lesson, students investigate this in two separate ways. |
 | | First, they conduct a real-time survey in which they research big-box stores in their area, such as Wal-Mart, K Mart, Home Depot or Target, including numbers of local people employed at the store, average salary, benefits, etc. They'll also gauge the effect of the big-box store on local merchants and local government. |
 | | Do you shop at Wal-Mart, K Mart, Target, (or whatever the nearest chain department store is)? |
