When writing this lesson plan, I wanted to focus on students being able to put themselves
in the shoes of an entrepreneur and seeing these concepts demonstrated in their own community.
Prior to this lesson, students were taught the different forms of government such as a traditional,
command and market economy. After reviewing some vocabulary terms, I wanted to begin the
lesson with a brief article discussing what an entrepreneur is, the characteristics and how they are
a part of a market economy. Once the main idea was introduced, I then wanted to show students
examples of entrepreneurs, their stories and small business opportunities within their community
where they could visit or may have already visited prior. After I would have students then log
onto DEGC, allowing them to explore a resource that entrepreneurs have used to kick start their
businesses in Detroit and the impact the group has had on the community. For the assessment
portion, I wanted to give students the chance to imagine themselves as entrepreneurs and create a
flyer for their business along with sharing their ideas with their classmates. This would involve
making sure to go over some of the requirements such as business name, pricing and
product/service as stated on the worksheet and making sure a teacher example was shown to
students. Having the flyer as the form of assessment allows for students to more creatively
demonstrate their understanding where adjustments or high order thinking can take place as well
such as additional paragraphs or just a visual representation.
