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.
See you in class!
