Spirit Week During Business

This was the second week of business but it was the same week of spirit week so it was a little crazy.  It was a little hard to get things done in classes because everyone was focused on other things and talking about other things.  And all the classrooms were a little chaotic because of all the decorations being used in the classrooms.  However, we still got a lot of fun things done in business class.  This week in business we did a lot of fun activities.  We watched Mcdonald's Big Mac, we changed up the groups and we each created a business that could be successful next to the school, our first groups publicized the new lunch menus that the school will be getting.  I really liked when we thought of ideas for the lunch menus because I think every group came up with a really good idea to get it known.  My group with Moira, Tommy, Josh, and Oliver came up with the idea to print one hundred fliers that said "No chicken patty makes my tummy happy" with a picture of a chicken patty on it.  Then we all went outside with some help from other classmates and put a flyer on every car outside then on the way outside and with the extras we slid them under classroom doors when everyone was in class so the teacher could remind them.  I really thought Danielle's group had a good idea too.  Her group printed fliers and put them in every single locker and I actually happen to see mind today so I know everyone else saw them too.  As for our idea I know that everyone saw them because they were on the cars and in classrooms.  After school while standing outside with some friends I noticed that everybody saw the fliers because they had to take them off their car before they drove because they were on the driver's side of the car.  I think that these two ideas should be used more often with other things within the school because it would make everything else more well known.

First Week of Business

This was our first week in Introduction Business and it was a short week.  Because it was a short week we did not have much to do this week.  The first day of class we went over the syllabus, was toured around the classroom, took two personality tests to see what our personality type was.  Once we did that we put them on a sticker so it made it easier to form our teams for projects, though the teams will change.  Then the second day we had our first thought questions and first homework about wants and needs.  We made bridges with our teams and ways to make the voting for the school more popular and then we expanded those ideas.  And now finally we are making our blogs so we can work on them every week.  So this week we learned about team work and how it can help us or hurt us.  I think that teamwork can help or hurt us because in a team one or two people can only do the work but it can help because we can have different personalities from every person that can help the whole group.  The teamwork was really shown when we made the bridges with two minutes of talking about ideas and five minutes of building with no talking.  This shows good teamwork because whoever had the longest bridge was the winner and if they won with the longest bridge it means that they had good teamwork together.
