Student Work #3

Long-term Project

The ‘Zine Project—Experiencing a Business Creation Student Directions Summary of the Project Students will create a Howard specific magazine under the division of Howard Publications Learning Objectives This project will help the students understand more about being an entrepreneur and what is needed in the creation and operation of a business/magazine. Also, the students will see how it is to work with others to be able to depend on each group to do their part to complete the creation of their magazine. Each step will depend on the prior group completing their section in order for the magazine to be completed and the business to run smoothly. Step-by-Step Procedures  Students will discuss what a business is and the different types of businesses.  Students will look at examples on the Internet of magazines.  Students will look on websites and create their own business to see how to make a business plan:       

www.bplans.com www.entrepreneur.com www.entreworld.org www.sba.gov www.youngbiz.com www.youngentrepreneur.com www.businessplans.org



The students will have a guest speaker to come and speak to the class about creating a magazine. Also, the speaker will give the students some websites that are helpful concerning creating a magazine. Students will start teamwork and the teacher will give them a sheet telling them the group they will be in to create a business plan. One team, the survey team will have to work first to get a survey to see if the magazine they voted on would go over at Howard. After the survey results are tallied, the other groups may work on their part of the magazine/business plan/creation. After the survey results are finished, the other members of the group may work on their part of the magazine business plan. Each group will have a different section, depending on what department and what part of the publication process they are best at doing. Each group must complete their part of the project, before it can move to the next department (or group). Mr. Weiss will hand out the documents needed for the business to journalize, post, and do the financial statements of the business.

Agree

Disagree

Schools should provide students with technology such as cellphones, Ipads…etc. A correlation exists between learning to use a cellphone at a young age and not developing proper people skills.

Allowing students to use cellphones in class will increase their classroom participation. Twelve years old is too young to get your first cellphone.
