IntroductionYou are in charge of the party! We

need pizza, drinks, tableware, and snacks. However, it is all up to your group to decide what to get and how much to spend. Stay within your budget and maybe your party plan will be the one we will use for our End of the Year Party!


TaskYour group is planning an End of

the Year Celebration. Of course, everything has to be planned within a budget. You have $200 to spend. Each member in the group will be divided into a different task: pizza planner, soda/tableware planner, snack planner, and budget manager.

All things must be approved by the budget manager. At the end of the project, all groups will present their ideas. The class will vote and we will have a celebration.
