January notes

1.  Opening project: groups get one can of lemonade mix and have to sell as much lemonade as they can.  This will get them thinking about the front end of entrepreneurship--the selling--which is what the groups for the $200 project didn't really think about.  This will also help them identify back end needs, and this is what we'll be teaching them in class.

2.  Have students solicit contacts and content for Krissie's Town-wide video content project.  Students need practice approaching adults and winning commitments.  This would give them practice with email, phone calls, thank you notes, contracts, pitching, etc.

3.  Ideas for C4E handbook:

email
professional writing expectations
thank you notes/business correspondence

excel/google sheets
basic accounting
making slides for presentations
public speaking
marketing

Forms: Pro Forma, SWOT, others

Trello


4.  Do more with case studies--use as a way to introduce business concepts--1x/week?
