      Notes

      Entrepreneurs are innovative. They:

      1. Have ideas AND can put them into action
      2. Are creative problem solvers (think outside the box)
      3. Work long hours
      4. Can sell and / or build
      5. Can simplify processes and data - identify what's important
      6. Are effective with people


      Whole Class Activity

      • As a whole class, we'll watch the video "Caine's Arcade Part 1" 
      • Each small group choose a different attribute from the list of 6 above
      • Create and share with me a Doc called "Entrepreneurs- Caine's arcade", type things that Caine says or does that shows that he has your chosen attribute? 



      Small Group Activity

      • As a whole class, we'll watch the video "Stupid ideas - Dragon's Den"
      • In your small group, discuss whether you think Rupert Evans is an entrepreneur and which of the 6 attributes is he the weakest. 



      Homework
      • Watch the video Caine’s Arcade Part 2.
      • In groups share whether you think Nirvan Mullick (Caine’s first customer) is an entrepreneur and explain why.



      Extra Case Study
      • Research some "Entrepreneurs", those who are proclaimed "Youtube millionaires". Read up on them and discuss as a group if these people are entrepreneurs. 
      • If you had a chance to do something likewise, what could your Youtube channel focus on? Create an google doc called" Entrepreneurs - You tube sensation" to write your answers.
      • You and your group will then present/pitch your idea to the class by Week 5.
