The students will be grouped to complete a project entitled:  “Entrepreneur.”  This week, they will complete Part 2:  "Being a Boss."   The students will be applying for a grant by completing different tasks to determine whether or not they’re capable of running a business.  The tasks involved will require the students to apply the GPS taught during the year in a real world setting.  This is a fictitious project, meaning the students will not be applying for a real grant or receiving any money or starting an actual business.
