Class Party/Event Planning

If you are trying to divide up duties or food assignments for a class party, use a board to have students claim responsibility for individual

items so everyone knows who is doing

what; for example, one student might

post a picture of pizza with their

name as a caption to claim

responsibility for bringing pizza

while another posts a picture

of balloons to sign up for

bringing balloons to the event
