Students will be given a certain quantitative measure and they must create an engaging comic that describes to someone who does not know how to use that quantitative measure and what it is. Students should use a real life situation that would be appropriate in using their given quantitative measure. The students will be assessed through their ability to accurately explain their measure and relate it to real life context. The will upload their comic to youtube so that it may be linked to the class wiki when it is presented to the class.

Each definition or vocabulary has a matching counterpart, students will be cued by music, and required to find their matching partner before the music ends. When the music stops the partners will record their information into the //describing wheel graphic organizer//. The words and definitions will be mixed up, and each student will receive a new one and continue the process until their wheel is filled in. After, all students will come together for a class discussion that will help to clarify each term and its definition, as well as examples of how to use each quantitative measure <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Section II – Groups and Roles for Product** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">Students will be put into partner groups randomly through the mix-pair-freeze activity, all students will be given a vocabulary word, they will engage in the Mix-Pair-Freeze activity again to find a partner with the same vocabulary word. Each student and their partner will create a comic life presentation that they will present to the class that describes their quantitative measure through real-life examples of how the measure is used to describe data sets. Each student in the partner groups will provide equal participation, and each students participation and work on the comic life will be assessed individually through a personal journal entry that will describe the work the student did, and what they feel they contributed to the comic life project. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**__Differentiated Instruction__** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**__MI Strategies__** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Interpersonal:** The group discussion involving the give-one get-one method where students will discuss each quantitative measure with each other as well as sharing ideas or understandings involving each measure. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**__Modifications/Accommodations__** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//From IEP’s ( Individual Education Plan), 504’s, ELLIDEP (English Language Learning Instructional Delivery Education Plan)//** //I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELL IDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.// <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Plan for accommodating absent students:** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">All assignments are posted on the class wiki, so if you are absent you are expected to complete the assignment by the time you return to class. Any information needed to complete an assignment should be sought out by yourself by asking the teacher for the missed materials. All class notes and discussion materials wil be posted to the class wiki so that any resources a student needs will be there. If you have any questions or need extra help to catch up with your work, you should email the teacher. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**__Extensions__** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Type II technology:** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">Students will utilize type II technology in the form of a Comic life about a certain quantitative measure and how it can be used in real-life data sets during this lesson. They will need to create a comic life that describes their quantitative measure in a way that someone who does not know what it is will understand it through their comic. This means that they must complete research that involves using pictures and other Internet in their comic so that their quantitative measure will be more understandable. There will be some videos used during instruction that help to describe quantitative measures. Students will also have the opportunity to explore Comic Life before using it in their project; I will ask them to create a short sample Comic Life that describes something they have learned about in history. Also, while students fill in their describing wheel, they will be offered the alternative of using inspiration to take their notes. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Gifted Students:** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">Gifted students will have several opportunities and resources to go beyond the lesson on quantitative measures. When creating their Comic Life, they will be asked to describe a quantitative measure like every one else but they will be asked to describe the more difficult measures like IQR and mean absolute deviation. They will also be given the opportunity to describe a real life situation with a real life data set that utilizes all of the quantitative measures. They should also include an explanation of why the quantitative measures were important in this real life situation in aiding it, explaining it, or describing it. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**__Materials, Resources and Technology__** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">//Copy of Unit Syllabus// <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**__Source for Lesson Plan and Research__** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">//This lesson was designed by myself, I determined the final product (Comic Life) that would best show my students understandings and learning of calculating quantitative measures.

font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">Students will understand that determining quantitative measures such as mean, median, mode( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> ), IQR ( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> []  <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">), and absolute deviation ( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> []  <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">) can help to describe the overall patterns of striking deviations with reference to the context in which the data was collected. Students will begin with a Graffiti Board Pre-Assessment ( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">) where the teacher will post the topic of statistics in the center, and students will gather and write or draw things they know in relation to this subject on the board. This will allow me to understand what students do and do not know about quantitative measures and statistics as a whole. Students will learn first, how to calculate these quantitative measures and what they mean through the Mix-pair-Freeze Activity ( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">), the proceeding class discussion, and discussions/ reviews during each class. The Mix-pair-freeze activity will allow students to learn the definition of each quantitative measure through matching vocabulary words with their definitions. Following this activity, students and the teacher will discuss each measure and use examples on the board that better explain how they are used. The following class there will be a review period so students can reaffirm their understanding of each measure. This will be the beginning process towards understanding quantitative measures. Quantitative data can make large sets of data and turn them into much smaller pieces. This will make homework easier and faster for all students, and it will allow them to analyze data much more quickly. Quantitative measures are part of everyday life situations, and students will begin to understand this through their Comic Life project. The Maine Common Core standards state that s//tudents should develop understanding of statistical variability and summarizing and describing distributions.// This will be adequately addressed through this lesson because it is necessary that students understand how to use and calculate quantitative measures in order to understand statistical variability and summarize/ describe distributions. Students will be made aware of the standard on Day 1, we will discuss the lesson goals and why it is important, and students will receive a syllabus at the beginning of the course that will further explain this. To introduce this lesson, after the pre-assessment activity and discussion, students will watch a music video on mean, median, and mode that will capture their attention and describe the quantitative measures we will be learning. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Where, Why, What, Hook Tailors:** //Musical (The hook music video), Interpersonal (Class Discussion and pre-assessment), Bodily Kinesthetic (Graffiti Board Exercise), Verbal-Linguistic (Class discussion)// <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">__**Second Section**__ <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">Students will know formulas for calculating [|mean, median, mode,] [|IQR], and [|mean absolute deviation] , they will learn these (See Content Notes) through class discussion of the preceding Mix-Pair-Freeze activity. Using the Mix-Pair- Freeze technique students will be given either a vocabulary word or a vocabulary definition related to mean, median, mode, IQR, and mean absolute deviation. Each definition or vocabulary has a matching counterpart, students will be cued by music, and required to find their matching partner before the music ends. When the music stops the partners will record their information into the describing wheel graphic organizer ( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">). The words and definitions will be mixed up, and each student will receive a new one until their wheel is filled in. Students who would like, will the have the alternative of taking their notes with Inspiration ( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">). After, all students will come together for a class discussion that will help to clarify each term and its definition, as well as examples of how to use each quantitative measure. Using what students have put on their describing wheel, students will be called on to report out their gathered definitions of each quantitative measure. For each measure, the teacher will rewrite the definition on the board. The teacher will then ask every student the number of their height. Students will answer and each height will be written on the board in the form of a numerical data set. The teacher will then ask students to write the data set in order from least to greatest on the top of their describing wheel, and ask a volunteer to come to the front of the class and order the data set on the board as well. Then the teacher will begin with describing the mean, median, mode, IQR, and mean absolute deviation and how to calculate them using the height data set. Students will use the examples for each quantitative measure to fill in the rest of their describing wheel graphic organizer with examples of how to calculate each measure. After each example has been described by the teacher, the students will be checked for understanding using the thmbs up or down technique. The teacher will ask questions to the students about whether they understand how to calculate each of the measures, and if they know which measure is which. If students understand they should hold their thumbs up, if they do not understand they should put their thumbs down, and if they have questions they should wave their hands. The teacher will then answer any questions, clear up any misunderstandings, and give more examples for the students who need it. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Equip, Explore, Rethink, Revise, Tailors:** Bodily-Kinesthetic (Mix-Pair-Freeze Activity), Musical (Mix-Pair-Freeze Activity), Interpersonal (Mix-Pair-Freeze Activity), Logical-Mathematical (Using describing wheel to organize thoughts, calculations, definitions, and ideas using the describing wheel graphic organizer), Verbal-Lignusitic (Class discussions and note taking), Visual-Spatial (writing notes on the board with descriptions of each quantitative measure). <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">__**Third Section**__ <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">All students will be given a vocabulary word that has a matching description/ example, they will again engage in the Mix-Pair-Freeze activity again to find a partner with the matching counterpart. Each student and their partner will create a comic life presentation that they will present to the class that describes their quantitative measure through real-life examples of how the measure is used to describe data sets. The students will each receive a project description handout as well as the rubric that will be used to assess the product, and the teacher will explain the project. Then the teacher will show samples of a Comic Life so that students may see what is expected. Each member is expected to equally contribute to the creation of the animation or cartoon, it should be a process in which their collaboration results in a product that describe both students learning; they should both use what they have learned to explain their quantitative measure. To ensure each student has contributed, each student will write a self-reflecting journal entry that describes each of the pieces they contributed to final product as well as explaining how their cartoon or animation shows what they have learned as an individual. The project will be graded by one rubric if each member has contributed equally, otherwise, each student will receive an individual rubric that assesses their individual work.Their comic life must include an accurate definition of their quantitative measure, an explanation of how it is used (ex. how to calculate it), and a description/example of how the quantitative measure is seen or used in real life. Students can use picture from the Internet ( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">), from their own lives, or self created pictures. For gifted students who need an extra challenge beyond the original premise of the assignment creating their Comic Life, they will be asked to describe a quantitative measure like every one else but they will be asked to describe a more difficult measure like IQR and mean absolute deviation. They will also be given the opportunity to describe a real life situation with a real life data set, but instead of just describing it, they will find an actual data set and and calculate the quantitive measures for it. For any students that are absent when this project is assigned, they will still be placed with a partner, however their partner will be allowed to start the assignment and the absent student will be expected to catch up through the class wiki notes and assignment description as well as meeting with the teacher to discuss the project. To ensure all students know how to use the soft ware, they will first be asked to choose their software type and download it ( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">) or create an account, then they will have the opportunity in class to watch the tutorial, and ask technical questions. The comic life project will be a way for students to address the facet of applying what they have learned about calculating quantitative measures and creating a cartoon that explains how it is used. Essentially, students will be able to produce quantitative measurements from sets of numerical data. Then students will have time to watch the Comic Life tutorial ( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">). <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">Students will be given story board or outline templates ( <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;"> [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">) that will help them in the process of creating their Comic Life, and they will be given time to work on their outlines with their partner during the end part of Day 2. AT the end of Day 2, students will be asked to create a sample Comic Life on something they have learned in history so that they may demonstrate what they have learned within the software. This will be linked to the class wiki. Students will then split into two large groups with only one student from each set of partners. In the groups, they will use the give-one get-one strategy. Each person will discuss the quantitative measure they are using in their project by describing their understanding of the term, and their plan to describe how it is used in real life. The other students will provide input of information they think should be included in the presenters product. This process will be useful if any one partner is absent because the other partner may still receive feedback. Students will then meet with their partner to discuss what they talked about in their groups, and to add the information to their comic. They will also look at their rubric and self-assess to see that they have included all of the information required and they will make adjustments accordingly. This will be a time for students to finalize their outline/ story board and work on their product. The partner groups will meet one-on-one with the teacher during the last half of Day 3 to discuss the content in their comic as well as how they feel they have done in relation to the rubric. The teacher will provide any feedback needed as well as proposing any ideas to help relate their quantitative measure to real life data sets. This will allows the students to complete a final plan/ outline for their comic This will also be work time for students to work on their product. There will be multiple opportunities of time for students to work on their product so that they have sufficient class time with the teacher to work on their final project. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Explore, Experience, Revise, Refine, Tailors:** //Interpersonal (Working with partners on Comic Life and the group feedback session), Visual-Spatial (Creating a Comic Life), Logical-Mathematical (Outlining the storyboard for their Comic Life).// <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">__**Fourth Section**__ <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">During the revision process students will first self-assess using their rubrics so that they may finish and finalize their outline for their final product. After the product is completed and viewed by classmates and the teacher students will self-reflect/ self-assess what they have learned, what they are still unsure of, and one thing they want to work on in their personal journals that will be responded to by the teacher in addition to the self-evaluation of the work they individually completed in the process and creation of their Comic Life. It will be a two part journal entry that will allow students to explain what they learned, explain how their product shows that they have learned it, and explain how working with a partner helped or did not help. The teacher will also grade using the rubrics when the students Comic Life is viewed on the class wiki, the class wiki will be a way for the teacher to comment with positive feedback as well as the other classmates. The teacher will respond to the journal entries as well and determine whether the rubrics need to be graded individually or if they can be graded as one for the group. The responses and grades will be given back the following day. The positive feedback comments will be given the day of the class viewing of each groups animation or cartoon. On Day 2, students will receive a homework assignment asking them to create a sample Comic Life for something they have learned in history. This connects to this lesson because students are required to use this software in their product, it will be a good introduction so students can explore how to use it. This future lessons will connect to the homework assignments given to students on Day 4. The homework assignment will be a quick review of the lesson that will check for students understandings of how to calculate each quantitative measure and to see if students can think of a real life example using these measures. This will be a good way to check for complete understanding as well as a window into the next lesson which will require students knowledge and understanding of each quantitative measure. They will be using quantitative measures to describe distributions. It is essential that students understand how to calculate each measure because they are used throughout each lesson. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Evaluate, Tailors:** //Intrapersonal ( Self-Assessing Journal Entries), Verbal-Linguistic (Self-Assessing Journal Entries)// <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**__Content Notes__** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">The measures of central tendency, also known as quantitative measures are important for attempting to quantify what we define as typical or average. This is most common when you are trying to understand a set of data. You need to organize and summarize the data using measures of central tendency so that you will be able to better understand the set of data. For example, when you are buying a car you will likely want to know the average miles per gallon, when you want to know your average grade for a class, when you want to know how many people bought a certain product, or when you want to know the average game statistics of a professional football player. The three most common measures of central tendency are mean, median, and mode. These are typically the best quantitative measures to represent and describe a data set. However, there are several other measures such as outliers, the range, mean absolute deviation, and inter-quartile range. The following are examples and definitions of each measure of central tendency. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**__Mean:__** The mean of a data set is found by taking the sum of the data, then dividing the sum of the total number values in the data set.

font-size: 14px;">Each of the learning styles are addressed throughout the instruction and planning of my lesson. The activities that I have created, such as the mix-pair-freeze activity and the creation of a Comic Life address each learning style in a way that they will learn more about calculating quantitative measures. Students will engage in social interactions between the class, partners, and with the teacher individually. They will have multiple opportunities to increase their intellectual development throughout all aspects of my lesson because it encourages them to think outside of simply calculating the measures as well as thinking about what they have learned. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//__Learning Styles__//** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//Clipboard://** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">The learning styles of the clipboard will be met through a variety of the aspects of my lesson. Students will receive the graphic wheel organizer for notes on the quantitative measures, they will receive a product description with all steps for creating the Comic Life, and they will receive a rubric for the Comic Life product so they will know what is expected. Also, the lesson goals will be addressed at the beginning of each lesson, this ensures that students will know the overall goal of the lesson. Each day will be organized on the wiki so student will know what to expect in class. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//Microscope://** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">The learning styles of the microscope will be addressed through the Mix-Pair-Freeze Activity where students will be required to determine a match for each vocabulary word. There will be several opportunities for discussion throughout the course of this lesson in which students will be able to analyze quantitative measures on their describing wheel in comparison to the class notes. Working with the ComicLife software will allow students to explore ways of connecting quantitative measures to real life. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//Puppy://** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">The learning styles of the puppy will be addressed through the class expectations in the syllabus. Also, all students will have opportunities to meet with the teacher to discuss their project so that they are not guessing at what the expectations are and will receive helpful and encouraging feedback. Students will be grouped non-selectively so that no one is left out and everyone has a random partner. Checking for understanding will also be helpful so that students know that they are learning is important and that no one will be left behind. Using the journals to discuss partner contributions to the final product is a more comfortable way for students to be honest about who did what in the creation of their product. The positive feedback wiki comments from peers and the teacher will be a way for students to receive comforting and helpful feedback on their products. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//Beach Ball://** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">The learning styles of the beach ball will be addressed starting with the option of which software students use to create their product on a quantitative measure. There will be lots of opportunities for students to have a free work period so that they can determine how their work is done and when it is done. The Mix-Pair-Freeze activity is also a way for students to move around with spontaneity and engage with the content. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Rationale;** All aspects of this lesson are taught for reaching the goal of students being able to produce quantitative measurements of a numerical data set. The final product is directed towards students explaining how to use and calculate a quantitative measure as well as how it is used in a real life situation. Many activities are geared toward the completion of their product and are designed to help students accurately create their product. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//Content Knowledge://** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">Students will know vocabulary, formulas, and critical details for calculating and defining mean, median, mode, IQR, and mean absolute deviation. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">These topics will be covered through student activites, class discussions, homework, and the Comic Life product (See Content Notes).

When students are asked to create a Comic Life, they are being asked to explain how to use a certain quantitative measurement as well as describe how it can be used in a real life situation. This is where students really have to think deeply about what they have learned concerning each quantitative measurement. When students are asked to fill out their graphic organizer, they are organizing all of the information regarding each of the quantitative measurements. It is their job to take note from the discussion and use examples to explain each measure more in depth. Also, students are asked to explain in a journal entry how their Comic Life reflects what they learned about each quantitative measurement. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.//** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Rationale:** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//MI Strategies://** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**Interpersonal:** The group discussion involving the give-one get-one method where students will discuss each quantitative measure with each other as well as sharing ideas or understandings involving each measure. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//Type II Technology://** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">Students will utilize type II technology in the form of a Comic life about a certain quantitative measure and how it can be used in real-life data sets during this lesson. They will need to create a comic life that describes their quantitative measure in a way that someone who does not know what it is will understand it through their comic. This means that they must complete research that involves using pictures and other Internet in their comic so that their quantitative measure will be more understandable. There will be some videos used during instruction that help to describe quantitative measures. Students will also have the opportunity to explore Comic Life before using it in their project; I will ask them to create a short sample Comic Life that describes something they have learned about in history. Also, while students fill in their describing wheel, they will be offered the alternative of using inspiration to take their notes. Students will post their final Comic Life product to the class wiki for others to comment on. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**//Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.//** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**__Formative (Assessment for Learning)__** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">Students will be checked for understanding through the thumbs up or down technique during the class discussion about mean, median, mode, IQR, and absolute deviation. Students will complete self-assessment rubrics and reflection journals, peers will help give feedback through the give-one get-one strategy, and students will meet one on one with the teacher while grading the rubric to provide useful feedback to the students regarding their product. There will be multiple opportunities for students to work on a story board/outline that will help in the creation of the students Comic Life, and will be used in several of the feedback sessions. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">The pre-assessment for this unit will be done with the graffiti board technique where students are presented with the central topic of the lesson (statistics), and as a group they will write or illustrate anything they know or understand about statistics so that it can be determined where students are in relation to the content of quantitative measurements. Students will also complete homework assignments that are related to the creation of the Comic Life product so that they will have the opportunity to learn about the software. They will also have a homework assignment after the end of the lesson that will be graded and used as a pre-assessment for the next lesson. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">**__Summative (Assessment of Learning):__** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">In partners students will create a Comic Life cartoon that describes how to use a type of quantitative measure by giving examples of each with from a given data set. Students will be given a certain quantitative measure and they must create an engaging comic that describes to someone who does not know how to use that quantitative measure and what it is. Students should use a real life situation that would be appropriate in using their given quantitative measure. The students will be assessed through their ability to accurately explain their measure and relate it to real life context. The will upload their comic to youtube so that it may be linked to the class wiki when it is presented to the class. This assignment is essentially a semester project that will be graded by peers, and teacher rubrics. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> || ||   || About · Blog · [|Pricing] · Privacy · Terms · [|**Support**] · [|**Upgrade**] Contributions to http://edu221spring11class.wikispaces.com are licensed under a [|Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 License].
