Hi Gr.11 and 12's,
Last week we learned about accounting and its important in a business. If you did not write the quiz on Friday, be prepared to make it up ASAP.
This week we will begin studying Marketing, which is one of the most essential, and also the most interesting, departments in any business. Without marketing nothing would get sold!
We will study the 4P's, market vs market segments, target markets, demographics vs psychographics, SWOT analysis, marketing strategies, advertising mediums and how they differ depending on the product life cycle!
Below is the video we will watch in class for a case study called "The Revolutionary Shoe"
You may view this video again if you need to. For further information on this company view the company's website http://www.tanyaheath.com/
See you in class!

Week of Feb.20-24th
Hi Class,
On Monday you will have your Ch.1 Test so be sure to study by reading the textbook and reviewing your assignments 1.1, 1.2, & 1.3.
Following the quiz, the people who did poorly on the HR Quiz will need to redo the quiz for a passing grade. We will finish watching the video we started on Friday in the meantime.
This week we will be focusing on Accounting, what it is, why it is necessary, what financial documents are produced and what they show, and then you'll be doing a group Accounting Activity that simulates the types of transactions and financial documents you'll need to produce during your business venture!
On Friday we will have a quiz on Accounting. Please be in class every day this week and ON TIME.
See you in class!

Week of Feb.13-16th
Hi Everyone,
Last Friday you were assigned a case study called "The Whistleblower", with questions to answer. On Monday we will correct these as a class. Ensure you have these done or you will get an 'Incomplete'. We will then look at section 1.3 in the textbook, which deals with Ideas, Opportunities and Goals, which follows what we were talking about last week as well, when you were identifying and thinking up new Ideas and Opportunities. Following that we will be moving on to the study of HR or Human Resources, which is essential to any business. We will be looking at topics such as managerial styles, types of skills, compensation, employee and employer rights and responsibilities, as well as communication, conflict resolution and teamwork! Ensure you are in class each and everyday and on time please.

Week of Feb.6-10th
Hi Gr. 12's,
Hopefully things will settle down now that course changes are finished. It was a very odd first week and I've never had so much fluctuation in class numbers before....nor have I ever had such poor attendance!! I have to say I'm not impressed.
YOU MUST BE IN CLASS EVERYDAY, ON TIME. IF NOT, THEN WE WILL NOT RUN STUDENT-COMPANIES THIS SEMESTER. We can just as easily learn about starting and running a business from a textbook. The choice is yours, shown by your attendance and participation in class!
Last week you began researching famous Canadian entrepreneurs. Your research assignment is Due Monday, February 6th.
*Be prepared to give a short presentation to the class about your entrepreneur
Also this week we will continue on with Chapter 1 in our textbooks. First we will do a Brainstorm Activity on the characteristics entrepreneurs need in order to be successful. We will also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having your own business. You will then do two assessments of your entrepreneurial skills and traits. One will be paper-based, and the other will be an Online Assessment, both of which you will complete and hand in for marks. Be prepared for lesson activities and a short quiz at the end of this chapter.
We will also discuss and do activities related to teamwork and conflict resolution.
