Financial Literacy - Family Budget

Step 11: Recap and Report Your Findings - INDIVIDUALLY

  1. You used your Family Budget Presentation to record information and screenshots of your research as you progressed through the steps of the project. 

  2. Keeping this information thorough and accurate was instrumental to keep up your Google Budget Sheet

  3. Using your Family Budget Presenation and your Google Budget Sheet, please key a double-spaced report that explains your choices and explains your life. (Miniumum of 2 pages)

  4. In addition to the content, you will be graded on your ability to correctly format your report as well as use proper grammar and spelling.  In your report, please include answers to the following questions:   

    • What did you learn from this project?
    • What was the hardest decision that you had to make?
    • What motivated your decisions?
    • What surprised you most about planning your budget?
    • What decisions might you reconsider in the future?
    • How much money did you have left at the end of the year?
    • What expenses did this project not take into account?
    • What would you do with the extra savings you have?

    Prove to me that this was well researched, well thought out, and well done.

Evaluate your work against the scoring rubric to ensure that you have all included of the required components.
