INTERMEDIATE 2—BOOK 4

Strategic Planning and


Entrepreneurship in Practice
Your classmates and you are going to write the book Strategic Planning and Entrepreneurship in
Practice. Each level will write a lesson of the book by answering the question from the lesson title. At
the end of the module, the teacher will put the lessons together to make your book. You are in charge
of writing Review 1–4 Part 1, so you should answer the question: Do you look back before moving
forward?

The exam has two parts:


1. Written Project
2. Presentation

Written Project
General Guidelines

• Answer the first question of the lesson you are writing. Intermediate 2 students are in charge of
writing Review 1–4 Part 1.
• Remember: this is your book! It should reflect your experience with the Personal and Professional
Development topics studied.
• The written project should attract the readers’ attention! Use pictures, illustrations, diagrams, tables,
or any visual aid that can make the book more appealing.
• No book is written without research. Read other books, articles, pieces of news, watch videos,
or listen to podcasts that may help you develop the topic. Don’t forget to list all your sources! It’s
perfectly OK to quote or to refer to other authors, but it’s not OK to simply copy other people’s work.

Guidelines—Intermediate 2

Review 1–4 Part 1: Do you look back before moving forward?

The goal of Review 1–4 Part 1 is to answer the question “Do you look back before moving forward?”
You are supposed to analyze your current situation, think about past decisions, and describe your plan
for the future.

In order to draw a conclusion and answer the question, divide the lesson into four parts. For each part,
there are questions to answer. It’s important to have all four parts and to have all questions answered
in the written project. Watch the PPD video as many times as you need and read the texts in the book
to help you complete the project.
