We are going to try to find out where in Europe it is best to live according to wages and costs. We will compare a lot of necessary things and unnecessary things to the salery in each country. Where can we buy more and where can we buy less. The students will make graphs and ppt´s about this. We will also do something more.

Procedural Plan:     The students go to shops and find things which can be bought in many countries and compare the cost. They also will have to agree on what kind of employer they use to compare in saleries.
