Focusing on Learning: Herrick Shark Tank

Herrick eighth graders in Mrs. Winthrop’s English-Language Arts class practiced their problem-solving, research, writing and persuasive speaking skills during a Shark Tank project.

Similar to the Shark Tank TV show, students invented a product and explained why the Sharks  should invest in it. The students delivered a catchy hook, clearly described their product and asserted their funding needs. 

Teachers and other VIPs, including Superintendent Dr. Cremascoli, volunteered to serve as Sharks. They challenged the students with good questions about their products, before making a mock bargain with the student entrepreneurs.

Great work, Herrick students!
