PROJECT INSTRUCTION Week of November 7, 2022
SCAVENGER HUNT! link here: https://forms.gle/U7JGTh8GAMqJduia6

As you know, this project is all about how things get valued - why does something cost what it does in relation to where it is?

This Scavenger Hunt is easy, and it's designed to help you discover where online to find things of value to you - for this project and in life - such as property values, existing home prices, property tax totals, rental values for homes, and so on.

The link to the Scavenger Hunt, prepared in the Google Suite of Applications' Forms App, is available at the link above. If you missed it in class and now have questions, you're free, as always, to email me for help or see me in class for clarifications.

This Scavenger Hunt is due on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2022.

PROJECT INSTRUCTION Week of October 24, 2022
PROPERTY INFORMATION SHEET INSTRUCTIONS (Google Sheets) PART III.

By now you should have completed all 22 duplicates for the properties on the original Monopoly board. The next step, if you haven't taken it already, is to do your research and fill in the necessary information for each property. Starting with Mediterranean Avenue and moving around the board, research the following for each property and enter it into your Title Card reproduction on the sheet:

  • Cost of the property

  • Rent

  • Rent with one, two, three, and four houses

  • Rent with a hotel

  • Mortgage value (for declaring bankruptcy, which we'll talk about in class)

Complete this information for every property by MONDAY, OCTOBER 31.

PROJECT INSTRUCTION Week of October 17, 2022
PROPERTY INFORMATION SHEET INSTRUCTIONS (Google Sheets) PART II.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because I'm out this week due to a family emergency, the instructions below are intended only to help you maintain your progress.

YOU WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING IN ANYTHING UNTIL AFTER I RETURN.

OBJECTIVE: Duplicate Property Information Sheet Template For Each Monopoly Property

Directions: Once you have completed one sheet as a template for your Monopoly Property Information Sheet and Erie Analogue (this would be what you have once you complete the instructions from Oct. 12-13) you do NOT need to open a fresh sheet and repeat all the instructions 22 times for each of the Monopoly Board properties you'll need. Instead you can simply duplicate that sheet 22 times. It's easy. Here's how:

Instructions:

  1. Open Google Sheets and open your project.
  2. Note the bottom border of the Google Sheets workspace. You should see a few buttons on the left hand side: a plus sign (+) that says "Add Sheet" when you hover your cursor over it, four horizontal lines which reads "All Sheets" when you hover over it, and then to the right of those should be a tab that says "Purple1." To the right of the text for the "Purple1" sheet is a triangle pointing down. That's a button for a drop-down command box. Click that triangle.
  3. With the triangle clicked, a text box should appear with a list of commands, starting with "Delete." Locate the command "Duplicate" and click the word "Duplicate."
  4. When you click on "Duplicate" you'll see a new sheet tab appear to the right. It should read "Copy of Purple1." You have now duplicated your template. Repeat this process until you have 22 duplicates. Every time you add a duplicate, the resulting sheet will read "Copy of Purple1 1," "Copy of Purple1 2" and so on until you reach 21. At 21 copies you can stop.
  5. Now you can rename each duplicate. Double click the words "Copy of..." in each sheet. It should immediately be highlighted and outlined in a blue border box. This tells you the text entry option is now active. Type in "Mediterranean Ave." and hit enter. Now you have a template you can work on for Mediterranean Avenue.
  6. Repeat step five and work your way around the Monopoly Board until all the properties are accounted for. Don't forget to rename "Purple1."
