We've talked about different types of tasks that you might have to do in planning an event. There are many ways to organize all those tasks. We need a to-do list or a checklist. If one person is organizing an event, they might have a simple checklist that looks like this. If there are many people involved in organizing an event, it's a good idea to have everything written and shared. Let's look at Tray's to-do list. It has a lot more detail. There are lots of ways to organize this, but let's look at some things you might want to include.

First, Tray has a column that tells who is responsible for that task. Include a space for notes. This is where you keep track of everyone's progress. Make a due date or deadline when you need something finished. The last column is nice. When someone finishes something, you can add a check. Now you have a nice to-do list. Your whole team knows what they're doing and what others are doing.

So let's review the guidelines for creating a to-do list. Make the list of all of the tasks. Choose someone to be responsible for each task. Make a due date for each task. Share your list with the team. It's a working document. That means things can change, but one person still needs to be sure everything is getting done.

Now you have some vocabulary and guidelines for organizing an event. The final task will ask you to create a to-do list. Think about what things you would need to make a good list. First, go to the discussion forum to discuss planning an event in your culture.
