Lesson
Types of Insurance
Summary
Insurance isn't one product. It's a toolkit for protecting everything you own and everything you might owe. This lesson explores renters, homeowners, and auto coverage, plus the liability protection that quietly shields your wallet across all of them.
Bellringer: Whose Break-In Is It?
- Pose the kicked-in-door scenario and let students argue who pays for what.
- Steer toward the split: landlord fixes the building, renter replaces the stuff.
Instruction
- Walk through renters vs. homeowners coverage and the three coverage areas.
- Introduce liability as the "underrated hero" and the Big 3 auto coverages.
Activity: Auto Insurance Article & Worksheet
- Students read the Auto Insurance article, then work the worksheet in pairs.
- Circulate and press them back to the text: deductibles, comprehensive on old cars, uninsured motorist.
Discussion: The Claim Categorizer
- Display each real-world loss scenario and have students name the policy and specific coverage.
- Pause on disagreements to reinforce liability vs. personal property vs. structure.
Wrap-Up & Assessment
- Why is liability coverage required by law for drivers, but collision coverage is optional?
- If you live in an apartment, why is it a mistake to assume your landlord's insurance will cover your electronics if there is a fire?
