Dragon's Den


A light-hearted look at a very creative person being given a hard time...

Procedure: 

1. Explain to your students about the programme they're going to watch: Dragon's Den. Tell them it's a popular TV programme where potential entrepreneurs try to have their new ideas supported by a panel of wealthy investors - the 'Dragons'.

2. Show students the following Youtube clip without sound. Get them to discuss who and what they can see. Get them to imagine a possible dialague between Jobs and the Dragons. Encourage them to watch the body language and non-verbal expressions closely and to be creative with the language.




3. Get students to listen to the actual dialogue, check if they'd understood the interaction just from watching (explain it's a light-hearted spoof in case they hadn't realised this already!)

4. Get students to come up with own inventions and to work out how they might pitch it to a group of investors. Get them to make their pitches and encourage the investors to ask questions and make comments. Have a vote on the best ideas/inventions.
