"Good morning, class! Today, we are going to dive into a critical aspect of running a successful business: emergency sub plans. To start off, can anyone tell me what they think an emergency sub plan is?
[Pause for responses]
"Great responses! An emergency sub plan is essentially a strategy that a business puts in place to manage unforeseen events. These events can range from natural disasters to sudden staff absences. The importance of having these plans in place cannot be overstated, as they can help ensure continuity and stability within the organization, even in challenging times.
"Throughout this lesson, we will not only understand why emergency sub plans are essential, but we will also work on creating our own. Let's see firsthand how we can prepare for the unexpected!”
"Now that we have a foundational understanding, it’s time to put our knowledge into practice! I will divide you into groups of 4 to 5 students. Each group will receive a different business scenario that you will use to create an outline for your emergency sub plan.
"Take a moment to discuss your assigned scenario among yourselves, and brainstorm ideas. Think about what could go wrong and how your business could respond effectively.
[Divide students into groups and circulate around the classroom, providing guidance]
"You have 10 minutes for this task, so make sure everyone contributes and that you come up with a well-rounded plan!"
"Alright, everyone! I hope you had productive discussions in your groups. Now, I’m going to hand out these printable cards. Each of you will fill these out with the key takeaways from today's lesson, including the importance of emergency sub plans and highlights from your group's discussion.
"Please ensure you write down 3-4 key concepts related to emergency sub plans. This will help solidify your understanding of the topic. You can refer to the worksheets for guidance if needed.
[Distribute the cards]
"Take about 5 minutes to complete them, and don't hesitate to ask me any questions as you fill them out!"
"Fantastic work on those cards! Now, let’s hear from each group's plan. Each group will briefly present their emergency sub plan outline. Remember, these presentations do not need to be formal; just share your main ideas and strategies that you discussed.
"Let’s start with group one!"
[Facilitate the presentations, providing feedback and encouragement]
"Thanks to everyone for sharing! It's fascinating to hear different perspectives on how to handle emergencies in a business setting."
"Now, let's take a moment to collect your cards or do a quick check. I will walk around the room and you can show me your filled cards. I want to see if you’ve included the key components we discussed!
[Move around the classroom checking students' cards]
"Once I’ve checked everyone’s cards, we will move on to our final component of the lesson."
"To wrap things up today, I have your homework assignment for the next class. I want you to refine the emergency sub plans you created today based on what you learned. Please write a one-page reflection that discusses any changes you would make to your plan or any additional strategies you want to incorporate.
"Make sure to submit this next class. This homework will help ensure you fully grasp the concepts we've discussed and learn to think critically about emergency planning in the business world.
"Do you have any questions about the homework?”
[Field any questions]
"Great! I look forward to seeing your refined plans. Have a wonderful day!”
