Personal+Finance

[|Link to PBS video "Your Life Your Money"]

Personalfinanceruggles wiki is what I use for personal finance. It is related to a project I was given student teaching. I am still tweaking it, but it has some good resources. It was a way for my students to see the powerpoints and use resources to help them with different areas of the class. If you have any questions, please contact me at mruggles@kusd.edu.

Planning a wedding - there are four options - This is written as if the students are wedding planners. (I have edited this and added a format to follow) This is written as if they are planning their own weddings. I will seperate the different options and then have them select the option from a hat or a bowl - so there are wide variety of different wedding options - then I have them present their plans to the class - and create a spread sheet to show them visually how much the different options cost. (I do this assignment in two ways - either they can be wedding planners or they can be the ones actually getting married - if they decide it is their own wedding that they are planning - they get to print off a picture of their celebrity who they are engaged and at times students place their celebrity's picture into a photo frame - while completing the assignment) Elk Mound High School
