Description
Two different events are in the planning stages at an agency. One is a Haunted Trail where people of all ages will walk along a scary trail for a distance of 1/4 mile. Although the trail is open to all age groups, the majority of users will be elementary school and junior high school age.
The other event is called Friday Fling which is geared towards teenagers. The event consists of games, music and dancing, and refreshments.
In the space below, write down how you think each event should be animated. That is, how will individuals move through the program?
