DEVELOP ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR
STUDENTS GRADE 5-12

the market
Let see this animation for teaching
entrepreneurial skills as an example

3. YOU CAN USE THIS ANIMATION TO EQUIP
STUDENTS DIFFERENT AGES WITH
ENTREPRENEURIAL KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS

games and hands on activities, you can develop
entrepreneurial knowledge and skills for students
4. SOME ASSIGNMENTS

country?
+ what to do to develop a business? (teacher can stop at two episodes of
exchanging business experiences of Director with the Prince)
+ Teach about 4 P: place: where is the shop located and why it is located
there? How bamboo products are produced and how they look like? How
the price of bamboo products is calculated? What strategies are used to
promote the products?
+ Use role play to learn about the role of a seller, director, customers, how
they communicate to each other, how to receipt customers, etc.
+ Ask students to develop their own business idea and business activities to
implement the idea.
+ Take students to the tour to a local company
…For different ages you can have assignments appropriate to their age
from obtaining simple knowledge and skills to obtaining all necessary
entrepreneurial skills to start up a business (We have assignment books
for different ages from grade 5 to 12)
5. YOU CAN USE THIS ANIMATION TO
DEVELOP CREATIVITY
• Ask students to draw bamboo products
by their imagination different from bamboo
products in animation
• Ask students to write a story
“ I am an entrepreneur of the bamboo craft”
6. YOU CAN USE THIS ANIMATION TO
DEVELOP OTHER SKILLS
• Art skills: how to make your products look artistic?
Using kitting techniques to make a bamboo product
to show your parents
• Calculating: estimate price of your new product ; how
many products you can buy if you have 300 USD?
• Learning English through subtitles and fill in in the
assignment book
7. OTHER BENEFITS OF ANIMATIONS
• Teachers can use an animation in few minutes to
attract students to learn and explore the lesson content
• Use animation in extracurricular time to develop
entrepreneurial and other skills
• It connects lessons to extracurricular activities to
develop, to expand knowledge and skills for students
8. BUT ANIMATIONS HAVE limitations
• It can be used where having electricity,
computer, but in some remote areas in Vietnam
and other developing countries, people still live
in dark and isolated spaces
• It cannot show samples of a business plan or
tasks to develop a skill.
• Cost money: expensive to be produced
9. COMICS CAN BE USED TO DEVELOP
ENTREPRENEURSHIP WITH MANY
ADVANTAGES
• As animations, comics can be used in
combination with games, assignments and hands
on activities to develop creativity, entrepreneurial
skills & other skills
• Without electricity and computer students can use
comics to do assignments to develop skills
• Cheaper than making animations
• Comics are loved to read if they are developed
creatively & imaginatively
• Only one limitation: no sound, no movement, but
maybe solved by 3D and ICT techniques?
10. Comics go with assignment books for students
and guidebooks for teachers & parent to
develop entrepreneurial skills
We develop
• two comics of bamboo craft for students: one for students
grade 5 to 8; another for students age 9 to 12
• Four assignment books: one for students grade 5-6 to
equip elementary knowledge about business, develop
student creativity and other skills. We want to start at this
age because in Vietnam, in the remote and poor rural areas,
parents did not finish primary schools and they don’t have
time to attend training courses. We want through them to
transfer knowledge to their parents. At this age students
have enough knowledge about sciences to learn a business.
Business is an art+ science + humanities + education +
finance + leadership and management
11. Use comics to develop entrepreneurial skills
(cont)
• one for students grade 7-8 to develop basic business and
other skills;
• one assignment special for students grade 9: many students
in Vietnam & in other developing countries leave the school
after lower secondary education and start to work to earn
money; at this age we want to equip students with enough
knowledge and skills to start up a business;
• one for students grade 10-12 to develop a higher level of
entrepreneurial skills and knowledge, focus on creative
generating business ideas, global business knowledge…
• One for training young adult s to start up a business
• Guide books how to use comics, assignment books to
develop entrepreneurial skills for students at different ages
