OKAY TIME FOR AN A PLUS.
THIS WEEK WE’RE FEATURING SOME MORE START-UP KIDS, AND, IT’S A WHOLE CLASSROOM FULL OF THEM!
THE NEW BREMEN 4 TH GRADE GOT A TASTE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN A RECENT UNIT ON ECONOMICS, TAUGHT BY THEIR SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER, DARLENE GILBERG.
THEY DECIDED THEIR PRODUCT WOULD BE CHOCOLATE-DIPPED PRETZEL RODS, AND THE STUDENTS HAD TO IDENTIFY THE NEEDED RESOURCES TO MAKE THEIR GOODS. THIS INCLUDED THEIR OWN LABOR, AS WELL AS THE INGREDIENTS FOR OVER ONE THOUSAND CHOCOLATE PRETZELS!
THEY ALSO HAD TO MARKET THEIR PRODUCT, WHICH THEY DID BY DESIGNING POSTERS ON THE COMPUTER TO HANG THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL.
MS. GILBERG’S CLASS ALSO USED THEIR CREATIVITY TO CREATE ORAL ADVERTISEMENTS, LIKE THIS ONE.
(VIDEO AD)
AND OF COURSE THEY HAD TO GET OUT THERE ARE MAKE SOME SALES! AFTER THAT, THEY REFLECTED ON WHAT THEY HAD LEARNED.
(INTERVIEW CLIP)
THE STUDENTS VOTED TO DONATE THEIR PROFITS TO SIX DIFFERENT CHARITIES. FOR SHARING THEIR GREAT PROJECT WITH US, WE’RE GIVING THEM THIS WEEK’S NEWSDEPTH A PLUS!
