On the other side, ask your students to read their textbook and/or do research to find some attributes of a merchandising business. Contrast how they are alike and different. Post the butcher paper on the walls and ask for presentations from each team.
Start a store in the classroom for your students to keep up with during the unit.
Check on the store’s progress as a daily routine. Start the store small by having it carry only pens, pencils, highlighters, and erasers. Have each student keep a spreadsheet of the inventory and update that inventory at the end of the week.
Keep a spreadsheet of an analysis of the net income or net loss. Ask each student to create a flyer to market the store. Have the class decide on a store name to use on the flyer and prices for each item, based on the cost of the item.
