 * Summary of Lesson:** Students will begin the class by playing a game titled Lemonade Tycoon on the computers. They will be able to understand the importance of running a business and what it takes. They will take on the role as a manager and deal with concepts like supply and demand, service, and different roles managers can sometimes have. Students will then take notes and listen in on a lecture of the roles of a manager. By participating in class discussions, students will have a better understanding of what it takes to be a responsible manager. Students will then participate in a competitive activity. They will be placed into 4 groups of 5 and will have the opportunity to create their own batch of lemonade. Students will be given the necessary ingredients to make their own batch of lemonade. Students will then sell their lemonade during the lunch periods. The winning group will be determined by the highest profit made. We will then donate the total earnings to the charity Alex's Lemonade Stand. We will then reflect individually and as a class how their experience of selling lemonade went.
