Stocks

Above are two photos from a project that I have been working on in Language Arts for a while. The project was stocks. We began doing this project because we were reading a book called the Westing Game, and a character in the book called Turtle liked stocks and invested money in them. First, we started by (theoretically) investing $20,000 in stocks. I invested in 30 shares of Apple, five of Adobe, 30 of Sonos, 70 of Newmont, and 500 of Macys. We created a spreadsheet (image on top) to keep track of how much we earned/lost. We entered the current price every week or so and saw the money we earned or lost. The other image is of the piece of paper we used to write how much we earned/lost down. We created a logo and a name for our investment company. Mine was Smith’s shares. My company earned money for the most part, and I only lost money twice. In the end, I earned $2,316.
