Session #4 Bonus Material

Project Time: (15 minutes)

Have students physically split into about 5 groups (dependent on cohort size). You can let them choose their groups. Pay close attention to students who may need help finding a group to be a part of and help make introductions to students who may not know each other well.

Once students are in their groups, read the project instructions out loud with students. They will need to spend 2 minutes agreeing upon what company they would like to research and analyze for Janella over the course of the fall sessions.

Encourage groups to choose different companies so that there are not repeats during the session #5 presentations.

As students are choosing a company, walk around the room and listen in on different groups.

Help indecisive groups come to a decision in a timely and efficient manner and help groups get started on their research.

Students may use… • Google or Search Engine • Company websites • News articles • https://www.sustainalytics.com/esg-rating • The “Sustainability” Tab in Yahoo! Finance

Be sure that students not only identify how they would rate the company, but also WHY.

Once students are in their groups, set a timer for 13 minutes. Let students know once there are 10 minutes remaining, 5 minutes remaining and 1 minute remaining in group project time.

At the end of time, have students move desks/chairs back to their original place and return to their seats.
