For the second quarter, the Gold
Team is created a brochure on one of the original colonies. They took notes
in Social Studies class. Then in Tech
they transferred their reseach into complete sentences and created a Word
document, which they transformed into a brochure.
Both the Gold and Purple Teams
completed a unit on Computer History. Each student randomly picked a topic
to research. Then they created a PowerPoint and presented the material
to the rest of the class.
For
the first quarter, students on both teams have completed two units:
- Are You A Square? -- Everyone's height and
reach in cm were recorded in an Excel spreadsheet. Students had to use
built-in functions and their
own
formulae
to convert to inches, feet, yards and miles. Then students in groups of
two found one question about all the data that they could answer. They
completed a lab report with their conclusions, then created a PowerPoint
to present their findings to the entire group.
- Doodletown -- Students researched basic questions
about Doodletown (as part of the Appalachian Trail experience) using
the Scofield Internet Research
Process. Then using their results they created a poster in Word encouraging
people to visit Doodletown.
