Each Monday in my floral class we review key topics from How to Open & Operate a Financially Successful Florist and Floral Business Both Online and Off.
Each week we review a topic necessary to start up a business. These topics includes but are not limited to: What does a floral shop need, orders, choosing a customer base, types of business ownership, policies, business plans and marketing plans. Their task as we go along will be to create a Floral Shop with the goal being to pitch your idea to the "bank" (meaning your classmates) to get a small business loan for business start up.
The assignment sheet is attached!
As I complete this assignment with my students I will update the powerpoints, notes and worksheets below!
This looks like a great idea! Could you give more info? Do you just have a class discussion over the topic or do you have them research the topic? Do you provide other worksheets or handouts for each week? The outline was very helpful for week one, do you go through and tell them what to write in "breaking it down" each week or is that something they come up with themselves? Any additional info that you're willing to share I'd love! michelle.trevathan@carlisle.kyschools.us
