For the second quarter, students on both teams are completing several units:

• Each student chose a topic relating to our trip to the Appalachian Trail. They researched four questions, highlighted and bulleted key words and then wrote four good paragraphs to put into an original brochure. In Art class, they drew scenes from the trip which will be incorporated into the brochure.

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.
