Social Studies and Math Assignments

Today we began working on two different assignments. I thought I'd fill you in on both.

1. Social Studies Project on Afghanistan

Students have been organized into groups to create a presentation around a specific topic about Afghanistan. These topics include people, trade, history, geography, current events, and culture. Each topic is associated with a unique and creative way to present the information to their classmates. Students will be given time in class to work on their topic, however some work will need to be completed out of school. The tentative due date for this project is next Tuesday, September 28. I say it's tentative because I want to see how much work gets done and if more time is needed to make an outstanding finished product.

I've attached a link to where I've uploaded a copy of the project information package that was given out today.

2. Data Management - Survey Assignment

Students were paired up and asked to think of a theme (e.g. sports, food, movies, or something more specific) to create a survey around. Their survey must be 10 questions in length. When they've finished creating their survey, they will go around the class and have their classmates take their survey, recording the results in a tally chart. Lastly, they will present their findings by bar graph (for each survey question).

The due date for this assignment is next Monday, September 27. They will be given the rest of the math periods this week in order to complete the assignment in class.

Again, I've uploaded the assignment overview.
