Overview

Give students an experience they won't soon forget-one that could launch them into careers as entrepreneurs. This easy-to-use simulation includes instructions for the teacher and reproducibles to help students organize their companies. While students enthusiastically delve into the world of free enterprise, they will be building decision-making, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills. This unit was developed to give upper intermediate and junior high students an introduction to owning and running a business. During the course of the unit, students will divide into groups (businesses) that will make a product and sell it to other students on campus. As they work together in their groups, they will be building skills in cooperation, compromise, decision making, and problem solving.
