Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Entrepreneurial opportunity identification. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Entrepreneurial opportunity identification.
Process	Use mixed-ability pairs for the first application, then require an individual transfer task. Allow oral/visual demonstration where appropriate while retaining the same subject accuracy criteria.
Product	Use a checklist/rubric tied to the concrete output for this week rather than participation alone. For advanced work, require justification with evidence, calculations, source reference or quality criteria.
Success Criteria	The learner uses correct subject terminology and evidence. The learner completes the week’s concrete product/calculation/performance with acceptable accuracy. The learner explains why the procedure/choice fits the stated context rather than giving a memorised general answer.
Homework	Find or invent a small-business example of Entrepreneurial opportunity identification; submit the evidence or assumptions and a 100-word analysis.
