Before Class

Default: one FYF workbook and device per student, one projector, and zero prints. Post the two-page companion and private annotation Assignment. Paper fallback is one front-and-back companion per student, pencils/markers, and one collection tray. Students work individually; partner, teacher conference, or self-check are equal. This is a classroom plan: no real sale, payment, contact, account, booking, client data, public promotion, copied mark, or income promise.

50-Minute Flow

  1. Skill-to-need warm-up - 5 min. Name a skill, who could benefit, and what useful deliverable they would receive.
  2. Define entrepreneurship - 7 min. Identify an opportunity, organize resources, make decisions, serve a need, and accept responsibility/risk.
  3. Build the service - 18 min. Define audience, need, deliverable, mission, fictional unit/price, and add-on in FYF; record responsibility and risk control in the companion.
  4. Create an original mark - 8 min. Sketch the mark on FYF p. 224; Canva, Adobe Express, plain text, and paper are equal optional routes.
  5. Private evidence pitch/test - 7 min. Teacher, partner, or self-check for clarity; record individual feedback and revision. Oral delivery is optional and not scored.
  6. Exit - 5 min. Explain why the idea is an entrepreneurial opportunity and name one responsibility.

Key and Trim Point

Minute 12: students can name audience + need + deliverable; if one-third starts with logo only, reproject the model chain. Minute 29: the fictional price includes a unit and no income promise; responsibility, risk, and control are distinct. Minute 42: feedback produces one visible clarity or safety revision. Trim logo polish and oral pitch first; protect opportunity reasoning, responsibility/risk/control, revision, career link, submission, and cleanup.

Absence and Access

The locked FYF pages plus the two-page companion form the no-workbook route. Students never need to share a personal skill or launch the idea.
