Lori+Powers'+Activity

Second lesson:

I have a question or need help... are the lessons supposed to be intertwined like mine??? OR are they supposed to be all seperate lessons??? I am not sure if I am on the right track??? Please offer any suggestions and help! THANKS!!!

Lori, I have turned in my application and it received an A. You just need to have one lesson follow another just the way you have it on this page. Ruthie Thanks Ruthie!

 * Instructional objective(s): **
 * Students will: **
 * ** Use Facebook, wiki and cell phones to survey CMS to find out if we have a healthy student /book bag population. **
 * ** Calculate classmates’ percentages and/or explain process to classmates so they can calculate their percentage and share it. **
 * ** Present this information in a graph or other display. **
 * ** Create questions to ask an expert. **
 * ** Conference via Skype with an expert in the health field. **

One block: 30-50 minutes to plan on how group will survey classmates.
 * ** ACTION ** ||
 * ** Before-class preparation: **
 * ** Create a wiki for students to use to share questions, concerns or survey information. Each group will have a page dedicated to their group. **
 * ** Discuss Facebook accounts and internet etiquette **
 * ** Find a heath care professional such as a chiropractor, orthopedic surgeon or other to check in on the wiki and respond to students’ questions. ** ||
 * ** During class ** ||
 * ** Time ** || ** Instructional Activities ** || ** Materials & Resources ** ||

One block: 30-50 minutes to pull together data and decide on type of graphic display. ……………………………

One block: 50 – 80 minutes to Skype with an expert in the field (Doctor, Chiropractor etc.) to get advice for their project. || Students will break into small groups to discuss.

Students will need to come up with a way to find out if CMS is healthy in terms of their book bags. They need to use the classroom wiki, Facebook, Twitter or cell phone texting. Students will have to share that data in some form of graph or display. ……………………………..

Skype with an expert. Ask questions that group members have come up with regarding safety and health concerns.

Students will develop ways to reduce weight or alternative means to carry books. || Class wiki site.

List of Facebook accounts.



Skype account

Webcam and microphone || Notes: Groups will be broken down by the students’ percentages. Trying to keep teams of three, having one from each range low %, healthy %, high % if possible.


 * ** MONITOR ** ||

**Ongoing assessment(s):** Teacher will observe and monitor the wiki site and request the students tag her in their Facebook correspondence. If students choose to use cell phones for data collections they can log in the responses they got on their reflections. Throughout process students will be required to complete a daily log reflecting on what they have done in class or at home to meet their project deadline. In these reflections students will be required to share any math formulas used and explain why that was chosen. Students having difficulty with calculations would be provided a calculator. In these particular classes, students do not need this, but in others there are a few who would benefit. Computer time and access would be provided in academy and before school between 7:50AM - 8:00AM for those needing this equipment. Lesson reflections and notes:
 * Accommodations and extensions: **
 * Backup plan: ** Should internet be down and I could not use clip or quiz, I would hold a classroom discussion regarding the healthy weight of backpacks. Doctors email would be provided in the event he/she could not attend Skype conference.
 * ** EVALUATE AND EXTEND ** ||

Throughout process students will be required to complete a daily log reflecting on what they have done in class or at home to meet their project deadline. In these reflections students will be required to share any math formulas used and explain why that was chosen. Individual photo stories will be created and students will be required to show the process that they went through even though they collected data and did research as a group. Students will be assessed on their explanation and accuracy of how to solve proportions and their understanding of the data. Individual support will be available for students during these two lessons. Some students have more experience than others therefore, a brief explanation will be provided whole group and individualized support will be available throughout the class time. Students will be able to ask instructor and/or classmates for assistance. Students having difficulty with calculations would be provided a calculator. In these particular classes, students do not need this, but in others there are a few who would benefit.
