Sixth Grade Project Based Unit Micro-Entrepreneurs "How are Women Micro-Entrepreneurs in Developing Countries Changing their Communities?" The sixth grade PBU, is going to be focusing on women's roles in the development of Africa through micro-entrepreneurship. For our service project, we found a website for a charitable organization named Kiva that allows people to donate money so micro loans can be made to women micro-entrepreneurs in need. Students will work in small teams to analyze thematic maps and research information on given African countries to come up with a micro-enterprise idea of their own; What kind of business could be successfully run in that country? The students will present their ideas and there will be a grade level competion for the best idea.
