Big Idea:
Should venture capitalist invest into Avocado High School? Or is competition and the mite problem going to put us out of business? We need to address the mite issue and show the need to expand production in order to convince the venture capitalist to invest.
- Prior filmed lesson: You ran into the venture capitalist in the elevator, discussed the 01-02 data, and arranged this meeting.
- Course EQ: What is most important to being a good citizen?
- Challenge 4: To foster the flow of useful and timely information
Instructions:
1. Review prior memo and data from 03 and 01-02.
2. Review the concepts we have covered since starting the Avocado PBL (see #s). For example, take a look at theory of production, fixed and variable costs, law of supply, shift to the right and left, wheat market game, and supply and demand.
3. Plan script (or storyboard) for discussing the data from 01-03 and include what you think are the important concepts we have covered.
- 1 person in the group must play the venture capitalist, 1 must play the Avocado High representative and 1 must film.
4. Using the iPad, film your plan.
5. Edit your work.
6. Upload to youtube by the end of hour
6. Show your 2 minute meeting.
Roles:
Facilitator: Director (responsible to make sure group follows the instructions)
Harmonizer: Producer (getting consensus)
Resource Manager: Editor (making suggestions regarding the use of text and visuals and edits)
Reporter: Camera (organizing the group with the plan)
*Anybody can film or be an actor
Rule of 3:
- Playing the roles properly
- Up to 2 minutes of filming persuading the venture capitalist to invest by discussing the data from 01-03, the mite problem, the competition, and the need to expand.
- Showing understanding of supply and demand
Questions:
How long do you have? I would like your work uploaded to youtube within the hour. It is a four-block schedule.
Where do I write down the plan? The reporter should write it in their notebook.
