Entrepreneurs Are...

In Social Studies we have been reading a book called One Hen.

We are using this book to begin our discussion about entrepreneurs.  The character in the book, Kojo, tells the story of how one small loan made a big difference in his life.  As we read the book we are creating a word web in our Social Studies interactive notebook.  The students have added words like risk, labor, wages. and loan to the web.  

We are also creating a list in our Social Studies interactive notebooks titled: Entrepreneurs Are....So far on the list we have added words like risk takers, disciplined, and in control.  We are going to continue to talk about how entrepreneurs gather land, labor and capital to create products or provide sources.  I hope the students are enjoying the story and learning about entrepreneurs.  There is a website http://onehen.org that you can visit for more information about the book and Kojo's story.
