Welcome to the Wonderful World of Entrepreneurship!!! The Research Entrepreneurs in the United States have helped to make this economy great (even if we are in a little bit of a slump right now). You have found and researched a modern entrepreneur that has impacted your life. In your team of three, create a team name. Using one of tabs on the left, each person record your answers to the questions listed below about your entrepreneur on your team's wiki page. 1) Explain your entrepreneur's contribution to society. 2) By creating this innovation, what need did your entrepreneur try to meet? 3) What risks and/or hurdles have they had to overcome?

Then, discuss with your group to find 2 similarities and 2 differences among your entrepreneurs and record your answers. Be sure to make your wiki enticing to read. Don't be afraid to include tables, pictures, videos, etc. about your entrepreneur. The information you find will help you to create your final assignment: a documentary on what it means to be an entrepreneur!!

__The Documentary __ Before you begin your documentary, create a script and storyboard using the [|celtx] on the computer. This is to help you map out what you are going to say for your documentary as well as what visuals you will need for your documentary.

So what is a documentary? A documentary is a "document" that helps to explain reality. The documentary that you will be creating will be about the characteristics it takes to be an entrepreneur. Be sure to include examples from what you have read about your entrepreneurs. The type of media to create your documentary with can be a movie or a podcast. The rubric that will be used you may view below. When you have completed your documentary, save to one of the flash drives, and the teacher will upload to our Modern Entrepreneur website.

 __The Evaluation Form__ After we have watched each others documentaries, please take the following [|evaluation form] on what you have learned.
