Do You Know How Entrepreneurship REALLY WORKS?

20 Questions for All Americans

Major Goal:   Use these 20 questions in many different ways...to start the conversation.  You will note that there is no single answer for any of them...rather an opportunity to really give some thought to the question.  Answers will be different depending on the situation....and in fact will change over time.

The GENIUS Certificate is available on the Consortium website to download and present to anyone you choose, based on how you use the "20 Questions for All Americans". 

Creative Activities: Think of ways to involve members of the community and encourage press coverage related to the winners.

• ** INSTRUCTOR SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES:  Check out ideas from Instructors at the Entrepreneurship Forum.

1. Students each select a different question to discuss with an entrepreneur, then report the answer to the class.
2. Students choose a question to research and then teach the whole class.  Assign all 20 questions to be taught during National Entrepreneurship Week.   Arrange to teach students in other classes and other grade levels.  Maybe even teach the principal.
3. Invite a panel of entrepreneurs to address your group and pose the 20 questions for their responses.
4. Have students ask their parents to respond to the questions
5. Start a blog for the purpose of discussing each of the questions with other students in your region.
6. Require groups of students to discuss and answer the questions as it relates to a specific type of business.   Compare the differences  between the groups
7. Encourage students to make a video demonstrating their answers to one or more of the questions.
