Project Day #1 (5/2/12)

Yesterday was the EOC!  I hope everyone tried their best!

Today was the first day of our stock market project.  The students all picked three companies in which to invest their imaginary $10,000.  After getting an overview and timeline of due dates from me, they all got a laptop to do research on their companies.  Students had to go ahead and get the share prices for today, record them on their spreadsheet, decide how many shares from each company to buy, and figure out how much extra money they have after buying all of their shares.

Every day, the students need to record their share prices for the day by going to http://finances.yahoo.com/ and getting a quote for their particular companies.
