Micah Braswell, Career/Tech Ed, Olympic Community High School – ELED

Curriculum Unit (pdf)

Synopsis:

The ideas and perceptions of entrepreneurship and how one is classified has been a topic of discussion within the business world. This unit will explore the two forms of ownerships by allowing students to research, react, and respond collectively in groups and individually amongst their peers. Entrepreneurship vs Small Business Ownership: A Tale of Two Ownerships will focus primarily on comparing and contrasting the two special types of ownerships within the entrepreneurship. This unit will come to a peak when students develop an interactive presentation, which focuses on a specific entrepreneur (selected by the teacher), and discusses the background, business started, industry, risk associated with ownership, and contributions made by said entrepreneur to his/her society and economy.
