Here it is, the end of the year is upon us!
April 16, 2008
Once you have finished the quiz, please complete the following:
- Remember your homework paper is due Friday. Put this in your agenda.
- Finish a script that explains your Belize graph and save it to your 7th grade folder. Save your Belize graph to your folder and to the 7th share folder in the BELIZE folder. Name it with your name and BELIZE together.
Try to answer these questions as if the audience didn't know what the question was.
What did you notice about the Rye students? How many Rye students were surveyed?
What did you notice about the Belizean students? How many were surveyed?
What did you notice about all the 7th graders together?
- Rehearse your script.
- When done, you will go over to record this on the computer. Mr. Van Dorn will show you what to do. Remember to speak clearly and slowly. Pretend you are talking to your best friend.
I would like all of the recordings done before vacation, if not today.
- Next, finish your avatar if you have not already done so.
- See me for further directions. :)
