Prom Week!

It was really hard to concentrate this week on school work because of senior skip day on Friday and prom on Saturday!!!! Sadly, a lot of teachers crammed work in and decided to overload their classes with tests on Thursday. Thankfully, we didn't have a test in business. This week Jean and I worked on our entrepreneurship project. The person that we had for our project was Walk Disney. We had to make a video that was at least 5 minutes in length. We were really worried about not making the time because if a group had a video under 5 minutes, the highest would get nothing above a C! Since Jean and I were worried about that, we made sure to do a lot of research and find interesting things about Walt Disney's life. When we started recording, we didn't realize how long our video actually was. The video was suppose to be between 5 to 10 minutes long, but Jean and I's video was 12 minutes! I hope that means that we did a lot of research and touched on all of the things that we needed to talk about for this project to get an A! I enjoyed this project, but the only hard thing was finding time to record since we didn't have much time in class. But thankfully Mrs. Weser gave us some time and we were able to finish! This week we also started our final project, creating a business plan. My group is Danielle, Emily and I. I'm really excited about this group because we did a project together before, and it turned out amazing! Our idea for our Business was really hard to come up with, but we finally found the perfect thing! We are really excited to start composing a business plan, but it is going to be stressful because there is not much time left in the school year, there is A LOT to do for this project, and being a senior graduating in a month is making it really really hard to concentrate on school work!

Marketing Project!

This week we really focused on our marketing project. I was in a group with Danielle and Emily. We chose to do our project on Chipotle. We had to make a survey for this project asking questions such as, your gender, if you live in a rural or urban area, you or your parents average income, age, education level, and also questions relating to Chipotle. From the people that took our survey, most were women who lived in rural areas that had graduated high school. We had to make 3 different kinds of adds for this project. A 30 second commercial and a newsletter were mandatory and then you had to do one more type of add. Our video is about 40 seconds long and focuses on the nutrition and quality of Chipotle's food. It even has a funny ending ;). Our newsletter add was based on Chipotle's phrase "Food with Integrity" and showed a few food options! Emily found the perfect website for our last add because it allowed us to make our own billboard using our own pictures and words. I enjoyed this project because I loved the group that I was in and it was interesting and fun to come up with creative adds! We are watching everyone's commercials in class tomorrow and also writing a refection paper on the subject. Since the school year is coming to a close soon...we have another project due next week!!!! This one is an entrepreneurship project and my partner is Jean! We chose to have Walt Disney. In this project we have to interview the person and ask questions about their life and about their business. This all has to be recorded and last NO shorter than 5 minutes, if you go shorter than that, there is no possible way to get an A or B. So I hope everyone makes their videos at least 5 minutes!
