| Lesson Focus | Entrepreneurship: characteristics and roles of entrepreneurs | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Entrepreneurship: characteristics and roles of entrepreneurs; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery. | ||

Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Entrepreneurship: characteristics and roles of entrepreneurs accurately. Apply Entrepreneurship: characteristics and roles of entrepreneurs independently to a new case, data set, text, material or performance situation. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What evidence or procedure is needed to work accurately with Entrepreneurship: characteristics and roles of entrepreneurs? What would a strong practical/application response to Entrepreneurship: characteristics and roles of entrepreneurs look like?

Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Entrepreneurship: characteristics and roles of entrepreneurs. | ||
| 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. | ||

The learner explains why the procedure/choice fits the stated context rather than giving a memorised general answer. | ||
