Creative Lesson Introduction: Exploring Business Journals

Introduction to Journals in Business

Objective: Today, we will dive into the exciting world of business journals! We will explore what they are, why they matter, and how they can help us in understanding the business world better.

Hook: The Journal Challenge

Activity: Imagine you are entrepreneurs starting your own small business. You've just had the best idea for a product that could change the world! But there’s a catch: you'll only remember your brilliant idea if you write it down now!

Instructions:

1. Grab a notebook or some sheets of paper.
2. Take 5 minutes to quickly jot down your business idea. This could be a new service, a product, or an innovative solution to a common problem.
3. Once you've written it down, think about what steps you would need to take to turn this idea into a reality.

Prompt questions to consider:

• What will I call my business?
• Who is my target audience?
• What makes my idea special?

Sharing Moment:

After the challenge, invite a few volunteers to share their ideas with the class.
