FinAlg Test Friday and another Mini Project

FinAlg will be having a test on Ch3 Friday.  It will not be open notes, but as usual you will be able to have an index card if you so choose.  For the vocab section I will be providing a word bank, but the definitions you will have to know inside and out. 

The mini project information will be given out in class tomorrow, but for inquiring minds...here it is tonight.  Remember it is due the Monday when we return from Thanksgiving break.  (Sorry the spacing does not appear to transfer over from MS Word to here)

Financial Goals Mini-Project

Due Monday 11/29/2011

You will be creating a project that portrays 3 financial goals you have for yourself—1 short term, 1 intermediate term, and 1 long term.  They might be standing goals that you have long held, or goals that you just made up.  Your project will not only portray what the goals are, but also at least 2 steps you must take in order to achieve those goals.  In addition, each of your goals must be S.M.A.R.T.

Specific –cannot be vague or too general

Measurable—has to be able to be measured in some way, I’m not going to actually do it, just must be able to

Attainable—can it actually be done

Reasonable—speaks for itself

Timely—does it fit the time definition of the goal

You may portray your 3 financial goals in one of the following 3 ways:

Essay	Poster	Comic/Artwork
Straightforward and to the point.  Tell me what your 3 goals are and what the 2 things are that you have to do to meet each goal.	On a poster (large or small), but neatly presented, write your 3 goals, list the 2 steps that you must do to achieve each goal.	The most open-ended.  Use art to show your goals, but keep in mind that you have to be specific enough to show the “SMART”ness of them.  Also you will have to give the 2 steps for each goal as well.

This will count for 60 total points.  It will be assessed as follows:

Short term financial goal                                                                                                              20 points total

                Financial goal is stated                                                                                  5 points

                Timely (fits definition of short term)                                                       5 points

                Gives 2 steps that are necessary to achieve this financial goal      5 points

Intermediate term goal                                                                                                                                20 points total

                Specific & Measurable                                                                                  5 points

                Specific & Measurable                                                                                  5 points

                Timely (fits definition of long term)                                                         5 points

                Gives 2 steps that are necessary to achieve this financial goal      5 points
