Background
Topic Focus/Scenario: Your topic will focus on a business plan or idea. You can make up a fictitious business or choose to align your project idea with your actual business ambitions. For example, one day you may want to own and operate a business selling T- shirts. In order to initiate your plan, you will need to have a marketing campaign, e.g. (1) Microsoft Word® Advertisement Flyer, (2) Startup cost projections, e.g. a Microsoft Excel® Spreadsheet, (3) a Customer Contact list, e.g. Microsoft Access® Customer Contact Database, and (4) a presentation for potential investors, e.g. Microsoft PowerPoint® Presentation.

Using Word, create a flyer for your business that will catch the attention of your prospective clients. Have someone proofread your flyer and give you some feedback for improvement before submitting.
Submit your Word document.
Be sure you have included all the components from the rubric below. While it is important to have a flyer that “sells,” remember this is a class assignment to showcase your mastery of Microsoft Word.
