Asbury 5th Grade Marketplace

Driving Questions:

What passions, interests, and skills do students have that might serve as inspiration for starting a business and making it a success?


How can students develop a business plan to make successful businesses and help their community?


Project Summary

5th graders read accounts of students who became successful at creating and running a business. They were inspired by various videos and articles about kids who became business owners. We brainstormed our passions and thought about how we can turn those passions into products or services. Through this work, they began writing their own business plan, creating their businesses while developing critical thinking skills authentically.
