Work Together

Before you facilitate this gathering, review the material mentioned here.

Success on this assignment depends on the use of Microsoft Excel.

Encourage at least one participant per team to share his or her screen
showing the assignment in Excel. A computer running Excel is
preferable. If nobody in a team has a computer for this gathering, they
should try to see and work on the assignment with the device that they
currently have.

Use the master list compiled in the Week 3 Gathering to divide the class
into the correct groups. Each group should be in its own breakout room.

As a group, work on this week’s assignment called the Break-Even

Analysis. Instructions are found in your course at “W05 Prepare: Team
Project” and “W05 Application Activity: Break-Even Analysis.”

Conclusion - 5 minutes

individually turn in their own copy of the assignment for grading and
feedback.

Bear a 30-90 second testimony of the importance of working together

and being a disciple leader and end with a prayer by invitation.
