November Week Three

This week we talked about entrepreneurship, self-employment, family business and small businesses.  We talked about how these folks are weathering the pandemic and we also brainstormed creatively about new businesses to start and how we would do so. 

Don't forget that next week, we are going to take a look at the newest McCown business, Hallow's Pizza.  Please send me your audio message with questions about the food cart, the pizza, or the business and we will use the questions and answers in class next week.

Listening:
Learners can try an activity from British Council about Starting a Business or an activity about What is an Entrepreneur?

For original version listening, try a short Storycorp story about a family business in Brooklyn or if you have a bit more time, try an episode of How I Built This.

Reading:
Learners can try one of many articles from the British Council Business Magazine.

For original version, check out an article from the Atlantic, such as Start-Ups Aren't Cool Anymore or How to Get Rich By Losing Lots of Money.

Writing:
This week for writing, write a text about a business that you would like to start. What need would you be meeting? What service or product would you provide? How do you picture your day to day operating this business?

Best,
Kelly
