Description
In this project based learning unit, students learn about hospitality careers as they work together with their team of “Event Planners” to plan a party or wedding. They research costs, utilizing a budget they create in MS Excel (or Google Sheets). Together they determine how they will divide the work of planning the event, creating an invitation and a menu (MS Word or Publisher or Google Docs/Slides). Finally, they research a career of choice and compile their information in MS PowerPoint or Google Slides.
