Mini-Project Due: Tuesday, November 8, 2011
You will, develop a brochure, flyer, or newsletter explaining to teens why it is important for them to begin personal financial planning. Be creative, informative, accurate and remember to use the information discussed during this chapter to reinforce the importance of personal financial planning. You will be given one day (Friday) to come up with a plan/rough draft of what you want your product to look like. You will be given one additional day (Monday) to clean and polish that rough draft into a professional looking product that could be displayed as informational literature.
