Hi Primary 7!

You can choose from either:

OR

South West Community Cycles

Pick one of these Social Enterprises and find out the following:

Social

• What are its main objectives? (what is it trying to do?)
• What group of society is it aimed at supporting? (the elderly, young people, criminal offenders, refugees and asylum seekers etc.)
• How will this Social Enterprise benefit the community/city?

Enterprise

• Is this Social Enterprise making a profit?
• If yes, how are they using the money that they earn?

In prep for next week’s performance, can you research ‘OK Go’ by Rube Goldberg and have a think of cool, simple actions and choreography we may wish to incorporate into our filming.

Best homework ever, eh? Don’t say I’m not good to you!
