Event+Planning

Created by: Kaitlyn Witsaman

In this learning unit, you will have the opportunity to create and plan a fun event of your choice! This lesson will teach you the basics of event planning, logistics and organization. It's important to pick an area that interests you when thinking about your event. This event must be one that can take place on a college campus. I will provide examples to make the process easier for you. My event is going to be promoting a smoke-free college campus. This event will be all about health and provide students, staff and faculty with resources on how to quit smoking.

Students will create a mind-map using [|Bubble.us] in order to brainstorm the different components that will need to go into the execution of the event. It's important to think of all the details that will take place before, during and after the event. Please include at least 8 different event components in your map.

In this activity, students will create a poster using [|Tackk] to advertise for their event on campus. It's important to include the date, time, and location where it is easy to see on the poster. It is also important to make the poster stand out the the audience. You must include at least one image on your poster. [|Click Here to View the Example of my Tackk Poster]

In this activity, you will create a video using [|Animoto] to capture an example of what your event might actually look like. Include pictures of a potential event that will be similar in size, demographic, and display. Create a slideshow of at least 5 images. You must also include music in your video.

In this activity, you will create an infographic using [|Piktochart] to show the importance of your event. In my example I will be using an infographic to show the harmful side effects of smoking.
