Product:
The end product will be a presentation that has several components: the data students collected, organizational charts made
from the data, analysis of what the charts and graphs mean, and a suggestion on what can be done for improvement. I would
like the best group or two to present their findings to an administrator and lunch worker. I think this will be useful to the
students in several ways: one- they may realize our hard working lunch workers are already doing everything they can to get
the best meals out of the standards they have to meet, two- students will realize they can not complain if they do not have
suggestions for improvement that meet guidelines, three- students will realize they can fix a problem if they do the
appropriate research and can persuasively present their case to people who are in charge.
I will use a rubric to assess their product. The rubric categories will include their presentation, the use of technology, the
practicality of their suggestions, the math involved in their calculations, and the different types of charts that represent their
data along with appropriate analyses.
Technology Use: Technology will be used in how students survey others (polleverywhere.com, Kahoot, survey monkey, etc.).
Technology can also be used in making their graphs and charts (graphing calculator, excel, etc.), as well how they will
present their final product (PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.). All of this listed technology either connects their research to the
audience, connects their surveys to actual data, or connects their actual data to visual representation. This enables higher
order thinking skills as well as a keen ability to analyze.
References and Supporting Material:
I will grade these projects based off a rubric in order to make sure students cover the necessary standards and that they meet
my expectations for their final product and presentation. Therefore, I will need to make a rubric in the near future. I do not
have any past projects since this is a new lesson idea for me, but there is a lot of statistical research I could pull up on the
SmartBoard on pretty much any topic in the world. This would show the students how others took a problem and tried to offer
solutions based off research.
