Intro+to+Business

Here are my resources that I use in Introduction to Business. This class is open to 9 to 12 graders. =The Economy & You= This packet has the students use the Internet to research various organizations that represent consumers.

=Owning & Opeating a Business= Students research an entrepreneur of their choice and then make a poster and present it to the class.

This activity has students use the Interent to investigate what is involved in owning various franchises. I divide the students up in groups and give each student a franchise and then we meet back together and share information.

Students are given descriptions of different types of people. They have to rank them in the order they would hire them and explain their reasoning.

=Financial Resources= In this activity, students compare the different services that local banks offer.

=Technological Resources= I have students read this article and then answer the questions and discuss what students learned from or thought about the article.

=Human Resources= Students research a career and write a paper with their findings.

=Influence on Business= This activity helps students learn about the imports and exports of various countries.

This project has students research another country and create a PowerPoint presentation to show the class.

=Business Plan= The students have to find a partner and then create a business of their own. They apply what we have learned as they create each section of the business plan.

=Article Review= Through the class I have students complete a article review. The article has to be about what we learned in class that week or unit.
