Hello, all my wonderful third graders! Get ready to put your business hats on and develop a service or good to contribute to the economy.

How do entrepreneurs contribute to the economy?

You will be completing a 3-week collaborative unit on economics during our 30-minute SS block. You will learn about economic standards through individual and whole-group activities. Then, you and your group will create a business plan and a product to share with the class. This will be done through supporting activities and culminate in a business expo at the end of week three.

Be a good teammate!

Research one of the five famous entrepreneurs from the “Business Leaders” section on PebbleGo and take notes (at least five facts). Then, please post your facts to the linked Padlet. Read others' posts as well!

Do not copy and paste; that is plagiarism!

Finish any unfinished work from the week! Then, using the Padlet, post a business idea for the business expo. You will discuss these ideas with your group on Monday of next week. Comment on at least 2 posts.

# data[].attributes.body
As a group, look over the Business Padlet from last week. Then, discuss and pick one idea to develop a business plan for the business expo. Use one of the ideas from yesterday’s brainstorm, or it can be a new idea. To develop the plan, use this shared document and answer the questions about the business (the instructor will attach shared Microsoft or Google document).

Work together in Kahoot team mode to play the slogan trivia game.

Then, finish the worksheet from yesterday and finalize the business plan.

Use Microsoft PowerPoint, Canva, or Adobe, to create a flyer for your business. One person starts the project and then shares it with the rest of the group members. Look at the grading rubric as a guide. When finished, one person from the group needs to take a screenshot of the flyer using the clipping tool and add to the Padlet.

# data[].attributes.body
Use a creation tool (PowerPoint, Canva, or Prezi) to create an ad or presentation for your business. Use the rubric as a guide. You will use this presentation or ad to help you present the project next week. You can also make your presentation in the Padlet using the video or attachment choices.

# data[].attributes.body
Work day! Finish any unfinished work including the flyer and presentation.

# data[].attributes.body
If your group developed a service for the business expo, you will answer the questions on the shared journal writing page (the instructor can link a shared document).

If your group developed a good for the business expo, you will use your break-out room and make one or more prototypes of the good with things at your house. One person can make it while others help give ideas, or each person can use products at their house to make a prototype. If nothing can be made, use a creation tool to create the expo’s product visually.

Present your business plans and artifacts to the class using the Padlet!
There are many different recording and posting options to choose from with your group. Be creative!

Reply to one other group giving them a glow and grow.

Work Day! Finish any unfinished work. Tomorrow is presentation day!

Write a group reflection using a shared file (instructor will attach using Microsoft or Google documents), answering questions about your favorite part of the assignment and what you learned. Post the review to the class discussion board and reply to classmates’ posts.
Then, fill out rating scales to rate your work and each group member’s contributions to the group project.

Links should be live within the Padlet, but you can reference them here. You will also need your SS journal.
