Entrepreneurs are innovative. They:

- Are creative problem solvers (think outside the box)
- Work long hours
- Can sell and / or build
- Can simplify processes and data - identify what's important
- 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.
