Carson prepared a draft plan yesterday that we discussed and supplemented during today's session. We first worked on the elements of the Executive Summary focusing on the need to describe exactly what the product does and is as well as considering an appealing name for the product and the company. Next, we examined what to include in the company description , specifically what type of biographical information to include about the owner(s) and its consultants.We further discussed the role of a patent in business and in a business plan. Third, we discussed the prospective market, its size and growth potential . Carson took notes and made revisions to his draft as we addressed each item of the plan. We will continue and compete this exercise this week in class.

Carson and I met on Teams. He did not complete the work his mother asked me to send him yesterday, so we used that as an activity to complete today. The questions asked Carson to simplify the exponent expression using only positive exponents. We used the properties of multiplication and division, power to power, and negative exponents to simplify completely. Once Carson got the hang of it, I reintroduced him to radicals and how to simplify. He recalled how to use the factor tree to simplify.
Today Carson and I met on Teams today. We had had a conversation about foods and using the phrase "Yo me gusta..." and "No me gusta..". We discussed favorite foods and I learned Carson likes Pizza. We went through a check list of things like bread, vegetables, fish, and fruit. Carson was able to use the new vocabulary in complete sentences.
