Collaborative work

Imagine that you work for a travel agency and you are offering an end of ESO trip to a school. Prepare the following three documents (in Google Docs):

• a text document, addressed to the parents, with the basic information (price per student, dates, buses to/from the airport, etc.)
• a spreadsheet with the calculations for the final price; you have to include, at least, five basic formulas and a percentage.
• a presentation for the students, with all the places to visit and the programmed activities.

This work will be made in groups of 2 or 3 students (one will be the owner of the document, the rest can edit).
