Task 1

Plan for a Party

Some Hints

Steps Pick a place. Where are you going to have a party? Will it be a big event, or a little get together? Decide on a theme. Will it be for an occasion? If so, think what will please the guest of honour. Determine a date/time for your party.

Steps Decide on a budget. Are you able to spend a lot of money on this that kind of party. Do not, however, depend on this element to keep you company throughout the night. You're the host so you ought to mingle with everyone invited if you can.

Steps Take into consideration who you want to invite to your party. Not everyone wants to dance, not everyone wants to listen to the music, some people want to talk and relax. Accommodate for different interests and levels of social comfort with space planning if it is possible, and if applicable, different age groups.

Steps Start picking the people. Only invite guests that you want. Only invite people who respect you, not kiss-ups. Invite people you would like to get to know better, and if you want your party to be big, tell them to bring their friends. Get as accurate a count as you can before the party so as to make certain you have the space, parking, food and drink to accommodate.

Steps Make invitations or buy them. Pass them out within a reasonable time frame of notice. If you plan on instructing your invitees to bring friends, don't send out the invitations too soon or you could end up with a bigger party population than you can handle.

Steps Determine what food to provide. Your food choice packs a big punch in your party. If you don't know what to get, ask around to see what your future party- attendees would like. Do not neglect drinks or chilled storage for these drinks. Don't up the booze too much. You don't want your place smelling like a dump.

Steps What's a party without music? Pick music that you think will be most agreeable to the spirit of your party and your guests. You could also play a radio station that has whatever is hot, and call in with requests!

Steps Set the mood/tone of the party with your music, lighting, decoration and attire. If you want to have an energetic dance environment, have music, strobe lights, lasers, fog machines and maybe some video synchronized with your music.

Steps Clean your house and clean yourself. Nobody likes a dirty party. It's a good idea to have some cleaning stuff around, and stain stick just in case someone spills on themselves or your furniture. Make sure there is enough toilet paper! It may sound weird, but you don't want the only memory of your party to be an empty tube, and you really don't want someone you may not know using your hand towels.

Steps Have some party games set up. This does not mean what it used to with pin the tail on the donkey or spin the bottle. Some games of everything as players deal with divorced parents, mediocre jobs/income, and marriage. It can be a real laugh.

Steps Have plans to address rules and guest safety. Make sure you have a good time and enjoy it.

Task 2

Imagine you have 10 guests staying with you, and you are making a breakfast for them of tea (one cup each) and toast (2 pieces of Bread/person) with butter and jam on each pieces. Identify the overall activities and component tasks that need to be performed to prepare the breakfast, and specify the order in which these should take place. (Activities sequential order)

Suppose one of your guests helps you with the task; how does this affect the outcome? What effect does it have if more guests offer to help? (Activities in Sequential Order)

Consider whether there are any activities that can take place in parallel, or any constraints that might prevent this. Is there an upper limit to the number of people who can usefully assist, and why?

What happens to your plans if one of your guests requests a different breakfast?

Task 3

Consider a special project (or group of tasks) that you performed recently as a one- off, non-routine activity within a time limit. This project could be work-related, study- related or a personal project. Describe the project and consider the following:

How was this project planned? Was there a schedule? Were there clear objectives? How were these expressed? How was progress evaluated? Did everything go according to plan, or was it necessary to make changes? How did you know when the project had been completed? Did you consider how things might have been performed differently at this final stage?

Task 4

Think of a recent project that you have undertaken, for example planning a holiday or a party, undertaking a coursework assignment, etc. You could use the same project as you chose for Task 1 above. Consider the following questions: What were your reasons for undertaking the project? What kinds of activities did you undertake to complete the project?

What resources did you use? What specific constraints did you encounter? What transformation occurred as a result of your project? What would you do differently for a similar project in the future?
