Today is the day. Ten weeks ago you set goals on your 01_action_plan page and listed a few business ideas you were curious about. Since then you've chosen one mini-business, built a customer persona, drafted a Business Model Canvas, costed it out on a Budget Sheet, planned the 4Ps and a social post, written a Pitch Outline, and added a Digital and AI plan. Last night you compiled all of that into 10_business_plan_template.

Your Mini Business Portfolio is now a complete mini-business plan. In the next 60 minutes you'll polish your Pitch Outline for five minutes, deliver your live 2-minute pitch, score two of your classmates' pitches against the shared rubric, and write your 10_final_reflection page comparing the journey to the goals you set at the start of this module.

Two things matter today: delivering your pitch well, and giving useful feedback to other pitchers. The table below covers both.

How the live 2-minute pitch is structured

How peer feedback works today

You will score at least two other pitches on a 1-5 scale across the six rubric dimensions (total out of 30) and leave one written suggestion per pitch. The suggestion has to be a suggestion, naming one thing the pitcher could change, not just praise. Important: you'll be scoring live as you watch, not from memory after all the pitches are done. Have your 10_peer_feedback page open in another tab when the pitch round starts.

Open your 08_pitch_outline page now. You have five minutes, no more, to make the last changes before you deliver. Don't rewrite the whole thing. Pick the one or two changes that will help most, make them, and stop.

Brainstorm prompts to guide where to look:

• Look at your Hook. Is it a sentence someone would actually look up from their phone for? If not, what could you swap in: a stat from your customer survey on 04_market_research_form, a one-line story, a bold claim?
• Look at your Ask. Is it concrete? "Buy ten of these", "come to our showcase stall", "give us 50 euro to print flyers" — concrete asks land. "Support us" doesn't.
• Check the bottom of your 08_pitch_outline page (or wherever you noted peer feedback earlier in this unit) for the suggestion you said you'd act on. Have you actually added it? If not, now is the moment.
• Have you mentioned the one digital or AI tool from your 09_digital_ai_plan? It doesn't need a whole section — even one line ("we'll use a free design tool to make our launch poster") is enough.

This is the main event of the module. Each student or team delivers their live 2-minute pitch in turn. Your teacher will set the running order.

While you wait to pitch

• Have your Pitch Outline open on your laptop or printed in front of you. Glance at it for structure cues, not to read from word-for-word.
• Open your 10_peer_feedback page in a second tab now. You'll score live during the pitches.
• If you're in a team, stand together at the front. Decide who starts.
• Take one breath before you begin. Two minutes is shorter than you think, so start straight into your hook with no "so basically…"
• If your class has more than 8 pitches to fit into the slot, your teacher may shorten the limit to 90 seconds. Listen for the call.

When you're pitching

• Look at the back wall of the room, not at the floor or at your screen.
• Hit all six sections: hook, problem, solution, customer, business model, ask. Roughly 20 seconds each.
• If you fluff a line, keep going. Recovering smoothly looks more professional than perfect delivery.
• End with the ask. Then stop talking. Silence is fine.

When you're in the audience

• Listen actively. You will write full feedback for at least two pitches, so you need to score them while they're fresh, not from memory at the end.
• As each pitch happens, jot quick scores on your 10_peer_feedback page against the six rubric dimensions while it's still in your head. Even one-word notes ("hook strong", "price unclear") will save you in the next step.
• Simple rule for picking your two: score the two pitches that aren't yours and aren't immediately before yours, so you can actually concentrate instead of mentally rehearsing your own opening line. Your teacher may also assign pairs in the running order.
• Don't interrupt. Save questions and suggestions for the feedback worksheet.
• Applaud when each pitch ends, whatever you thought of it. Pitching takes courage and the whole class is in the same boat today.

You already started this page during the pitches with quick scores and notes. Now finalise it. Go back to the two pitches you noted strongest reactions to (or that your teacher assigned), and turn your live notes into proper peer feedback. The example row shows what a finished entry looks like: a top thing that worked, a specific suggestion (not just praise), and an overall score out of 30.

Instructions:

• Pick the two pitches from your live notes you have the most to say about (not your own).
• For each, write the pitcher's or team's name, name one thing that worked, write ONE specific suggestion (a change they could make, not just "good pitch"), and add an overall score out of 30 based on the six rubric dimensions at 5 points each.
• This page is part of the portfolio that gets submitted today.
