This document outlines goals and a timeline for students to create a multimedia buying guide to help their peers get a great price when purchasing a vehicle. It involves researching tips for negotiating prices and calculating financing costs, as well as comparing automobile specs and prices using various resources. Students will then develop a media project to demonstrate their findings to peers over the course of two weeks, with introductory research, foundational research, project development, testing, and a buffer day for issues.
