CNN lists 8 child entrepreneurs.(Entrepreneurs are people who start their own businesses!)

While you look at these sources, ask yourself,

 * ==== "Did this child face a challenge, risk, or opportunity?" ====
 * ==== "Why did this child choose to act? What did he/she do?" ====
 * ==== "What is the connection this child has to the project?" ====

You can write your ideas and reflections in your journal to include in your Exhibition scrapbook at the end of the unit.
