Final Project

As a final project students will create a power point presentation that they will present to you, the class, and "the couple, Mary and Harry." In this power point students should explain their reasoning behind their decisions during their iAdventure as well as a final plan for the couple with the remainder of the money. Students should have a financial plan for the couple and should explain it through their power point. The power point will show you as the teacher what new knowledge and skills the student has learned about financial planning.
