AIM: Students will know what legal steps are necessary to complete prior to opening a business.

DO NOW: Interpret the following quote as it relates to your own experiences. Use a real-life example. Be as specific as possible.

"The enemy of the truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived, and dishonest -- but the myth-persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic." -- Former US President John F. Kennedy

Be prepared to discuss the quote and your interpretation of it. Write out the quote and the response.

LP: Students need workbooks and textbooks today.

Monitors distribute.

Ask: What are licenses? What do you need a license to do? What are permits? How are they different than licenses? (Put the questions and responses on the board - brainstorm with students) Why would you need one to operate a business?

What is a registration and Sales ID number? Why do you need one?
Refer to pages 306 -307 in the textbook and pages 169 - 170 in workbook. Alone or in pairs, using the textbook, complete workbook pages 169 - 170 - # 5 and Key Concepts questions 1,2,3, and complete the vocabulary section in class.

Homework: Complete the exploration question from the workbooks. For your business you plan to start, research zoning and licensing regulations in your area and describehow they will affect your business.

Reminder: Please make sure all books and workbooks are put away five minutes before the bell. Do not line up nor leave your seats prior to being given the okay. Lateness to class, and cutting out early, and throwing things, and other problem behavior in class is reflected in your grade each term. It's up to you whether you achieve your goals or fall behind.
