Since they'll most likely be sleep-deprived and bored, how about something interactive?
You could have them all split up into groups of 1-3 people and brainstorm business ideas for 10 minutes, and then as a whole class, spend 3-5 minutes discussing whether each idea is viable. This would give you plenty of chances to speak on certain topics without it being an hour of soapboxing.
- keiferski 14y agoI agree completely. Don't try to teach about business via academic abstractions. Come up with a project that allows you to explain basic concepts. Also, I highly recommend the book "Accounting Fresh from the Lemonade Stand". It uses the story of a lemonade stand (in which the reader is the owner) to explain accounting concepts. It's extremely effective and much more interesting than a typical textbook on the subject.
- ValG 14y agoGreat Idea whichdan, the interactive route is definitely the way to go.
