There are four different customers that will need to be assigned. Students are to create a professional presentation using a spreadsheet application outlining their plans for their assigned customers. The purpose of the assignment is to visually see the different costs that are involved while planning for a wedding.

Suggested columns: Item description, photo of item, cost involved, and a running balance to visually show the grand total.

Use this spreadsheet after students have been taught the basics of spreadsheets: entering and editing data, formatting a spreadsheet, basic functions, sorting, creating and formatting charts. Students use Skittles (can also use M&Ms or another candy or type of food with different colors that can be sorted) to create a spreadsheet. They will sort the data, create functions to analyze the data, and insert a chart.
