Crash Course: Entrepreneurship #1 Who Even Is An Entrepreneur? Worksheet

Define an entrepreneur as someone who takes on financial risk to pursue a business idea, in the student's own words

Distinguish an entrepreneurial venture from an employee's idea by asking who carried the financial risk, using the Cat Cycle and Cat Board contrast

Explain what the gig economy is and how working project by project changes the options open to an aspiring entrepreneur

Timestamps sit beside nine of the ten questions, so students who miss an answer can jump straight back to the right moment in the episode rather than rewatching from the start

The Word versions can be trimmed to fewer questions or reordered before printing, since the same ten items appear in every version

Frame statistics and broad claims about entrepreneurship as statements from the 2019 episode, not current facts or guarantees. Question 10 is open-ended, and reasonable student wording may differ from the key.

Listening for detail in a video - students answer to a stated timestamp, such as the number of new businesses started each year at (2:40).

Concept discrimination - the Cat Cycle and Cat Board questions ask students to say why one Me-Wow employee's idea counted as an entrepreneurial venture and the other did not.

Economic vocabulary - students define the gig economy and explain how project-based work changes an entrepreneur's options.
