Introduction

I am sure that you have heard your parents and teachers talked to you about the value of education and taking school seriously. This activity has not been developed to bore you with things that you have heard over and over again. I do not want to put you to sleep with some arduous task that only amounts to “busy work”. What I want you to do is “GET A LIFE!”

I always hear you students talk about the clothes that you want to wear and the cars that you want to drive. I know that you like to watch “Cribs” and "Pimp My Ride" on MTV. Also, some of you fellas claim to be “playas” who have it all together, you have all the answers. Well, I am challenging you to put your money where your mouth is. Your teacher or instructor has selected this activity so that you can tell your class about the fabulous life that you want.

Here’s the Scenario

You are 25 years old and single (sorry ladies). At the end of this assignment, what we want to know is

1) Where do you work?
2) Where do you live?
3) What kind of car do you drive?
4) Tell us where you went for a vacation and how much you spent on travel and hotel accommodations?

The Real World

We are not interested in reading any fair tales. Your task for this assignment is to be as realistic as possible. You will be able to answer these questions based on the job that you will have. You will be provided with all the information that you need to complete this activity.

How to Get Started

Get a quick snapshot of your assignment by taking a look at the tasks page. Next, look at the "Process" pages to see how you are to actually complete the tasks. On the "Process" page you will find an activity sheet to record the information that you will collect while completing this assignment. Take a close look at the "Evaluation" page. It describes how your work will be graded, so you can use this page as a checklist. Now that you have read the instructions, go “GET A LIFE!”
