I have also included here the question list to use if you arrange for a visiting entrepreneur to come and speak to your students. I usually allocate specific questions to specific students in advance. Obviously this is for later on in this unit, but here it is, ready for whenever you need it. There are many other resources in this series, closely following the ‘official’ textbook ISBN-10: 1292231394, which was all we really had to guide us in the first year. Some of these have a focus on local businesses, but you can easily change my resources by replacing with SMEs in your own area. At least that way you don’t have to start from scratch. : ) OOO OOO OOO PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THESE RESOURCES ARE FOR THE 2018 SPEC.
