Prepare for a 'Shark tank' style activity in Week 10.
The following video (1:12) is a quick example of a Shark Tank pitch involving two brothers and a new idea about ice cream cones.
Rubric creation activity
Students will brainstorm ideas for a rubric. These ideas will then be merged into a rubric for the shark tank session in Week 10.

Albion et al. (2022, pp. 172-173) define four levels of innovation as follows:
Shark tank 1
The five students in group 1 will present. Peer evaluation will be captured using verbal feedback and scored according to the rubric.
