TEACHING+RESOURCES

==//**We are relying on you, as teachers, to help build this resource section of the wikispace. Please contribute resources you have found valuable and that support various modules of the [|Entrepreneurship 30 curriculum]. . .**//== (J. McFarlen) || A student of mine found a GREAT website for conducting market research for your product. It is free, user friendly, you can create unlimited questions, it looks professional and it summarizes all the results. If anyone wants to reach a large amount of people through on online survey, this is a great resource here is the link Form Central Acrobat. You will have to set up an account. Happy researching! - Ashley Murray. Here is a pretty good infographic on creating a company Logo. @http://www.sothink.com/product/logo-design-software/infographic-unique-logo-design-ideas.htm Angus || Just finished this project last week. Could fit into other objectives, as well. Students loved it because they had to put everything together. We treated it like an episode of Dragons' Den and at the end of the week I had 6 Dragons' come in (3 educators and 3 business people from the community) and evaluated the student's Prototypes as the students presented it (just like on the show). Judges were provided a the rubric (attached) to evaluate the presentations. Great opportunity for the students to come up with their ideas, build them, evaluate start up costs, do market research to find out what they could sell their product for, and then have to promote their products to people other than their classmates. **Please feel free to take the handout and change it up to meet your classroom needs. No credit needed! Make it your own!** Please note that the document did upload weird to the wiki. There are only 7 questions that need to be presented. The other numbers appear in there for some reason **. -Brett Young, Peacock Collegiate**

 * **9 - Initiating a Venture (core)** || [[file:Pitch Your Product Presentation.doc]]

This reflection evaluation piece goes along with the "Pitch your Product Presentation" above. Students can reflect on the Student Learning Outcomes from the assignment a reflect through writing, typing, sound file, or videoing themselves and having the teacher view it (normally I just view off their device). || Have done this for two years now an the students love it! It really throws them into a whirlwind of having to get a small company together with a group. We have had the funds donated by the school to purchase product and the school is reimbursed through the profits that the group makes. All of the profits, for this mini venture, are donated to a charity of the students' choosing, through the voting process. Great team builder, motivator, and gives the students a taste for what is to come later on in the semester. Tons of objectives covered so this isn't necessarily the main one. **Please change this document to fit your classroom. No credit needed! Just hope it works for you! -Brett Young, Peacock Collegiate**
 * **13 - Planning a Venture (core)** || [[file:Lemonade Project.pdf]]

This is the evaluation that goes with the reflection peace for student learning. I gave my students the opportunity to reflect back on the lemonade project and reflect by either writing their response, typing it out or videoing themselves answering the questions. I found that for some students it was easier and more beneficial to answer the questions orally instead of typing or writing.
