Enterprise Lesson Plans / KS3 - Enterprise and the community - 4 lessons / Enterprise and the Community Lesson Plan 1 - Our Community

Enterprise and Our Community

In this first lesson of four, students will be thinking about their own community, and what they can do to improve it using enterprise skills.

In the first activity, students will be introduced to the key words and phrases around enterprise in the community and will discuss their meaning. Can they give any examples?

In the main activity, students will work in groups think about their own community, what makes up their community and how it makes them feel. They then move on to think about what their ideal community would be like.

This lesson will open up much discussion amongst the class, and it is these discussions that will form the basis for future work in this module.
