Introduction
You will be planning a Quinceañera for Carmen Murguia Rojas. As you know Carmen is about to celebrate her 15th birthday. She is very excited! Carmen and her family have come to your party planning agency to handle all the important details of the event. You must work together with the members of your agency to plan the "perfect" quinceañera for Carmen.
You will be given a budget for the event. You MUST stay within this budget to be successful. Keep in mind that you do NOT want to go over the budget, but at the same time you should spend the biggest majority of your budget. The second to last slide of your presentation should provide information about the TOTAL amount of money spent by your group.
Your agency will present your completed plan to Carmen y su familia in class using a Powerpoint presentation. (See me if you would like to do another form of presentation.) Before your presentation you will present La familia de Carmen with an overview of your presentation (printouts of your slides). The agency that does the BEST presentation will be exempt from the chapter test following this lesson.

*Use your resources, plan your time carefully and do not spend too much time on one area. You will be graded on the presentation, the details and the visuals.*
Process

Process
The time has come to start planning the Quinceañera!:
- Form your party-planning group with 4 members per group.
- Each group member needs to choose a role to play. Remember your choice are:food/decorations, music/gift, location/transportation, and fashion NOTE: if you can't agree on a role, pull them out of a hat!
- Now it's time to brainstorm your ideas: on a separate sheet of paper, each of you should write down your ideas for the Quinceañera.
- You should use the Internet to do your research. I am supplying below a list of websites to help you get started on your task. You may use other websites than the ones listed below, but be sure to cite each source (make sure to copy the URL and include it in your PowerPoint presentation).
