In preparation, students begin by investigating the job duties and traits of a marketing executive. Next, they use a planning sheet to determine the thrill rides, attractions, shows, shops, restaurants, and services that will make up the park.

Afterwards, they use Microsoft Word to make a poster to promote the park to potential guests. Learning skills such as inserting and formatting text, clip art, pictures, and shapes allow students to create a professional looking and attention-getting document that will be sure to entice people to visit the amusement park.
