Next week's Presentation:  Famous (Canadian) Business People:  Some websites:
     Famous Canadian Entrepreneurs
     Well Known Canadians
     List of Canadians - Wikipedia
     Top 40 Under 40
You may prefer to do a presentation on a non-Canadian.  This is also acceptable.  For each person presented, be sure to use W5H:  who, where, what, when, why, and how.  Who are they?  Where are they from / where did they do something outstanding? What did they do? When did they do it? Why did they do it?  How did they do it?  Include any interesting quotes from this person, and also indicate what impact they have had in their business/industry/company/country/ etc.


Below is a textbook, titled Business Vocabulary in Use, that you can use at your leisure.
Business Vocabulary in Use
But we will also start doing lessons in class, according to the weekly theme.  Another book that might be useful for you is Business Phrasal Verbs and Collocations.  We can start using lessons from this text, as well, if you like.


Please take a look at last week's blog regarding the Career Exploration Fair at Douglas College.  We're all going to Douglas College next Monday, March 5, 2012, for a real job fair.  There are videos for you to view.


Note:  If you do not wish to participate in the job fair AS A CLASS, we don't have to go.  But I think it would be good experience for you.
