The start of our track meet was delayed so we got some work done this morning.

Those of you who did not present your storybook draft to the class you will do so as soon as possible to get feedback. Those of you who did get feedback - you can start making revisions and keep moving forward with your story.

Math
Here is the project outline we discussed today.
Please get started.

Party Planning Project Summative Task

Description:  Over the last several weeks, we have been exploring data.  We have looked at the collection, representation, interpretation, and evaluation of data.  It is now time to put all of the skills we have practiced to good use. You are tasked with coming up with a plan for a class end of year celebration.  You are responsible for coming up with the survey questions, collecting the data, representing the data (making the graphs), interpreting the data (describing what the data tells you), and evaluating the data (determining if it is valid and if we can do what it is telling us).

Your party plan must include the following:

1. Your survey questions – be prepared to discuss if they are biased or unbiased and why you asked the questions you did.  Be prepared to discuss the population you asked as well.
2. Your graphs – you are required to produce at least 3 graphs.  Be prepared to justify why you chose the type(s) of graphs you did to display your data and why you feel they were the best choice to represent your data.
3. Interpretations of what the data told you – be prepared to discuss how you interpreted the data in your graphs.
4. Evaluation of your data and your final recommendation for our class celebration.  Note that your recommendation must be based on the data you collected.

You will present your party plan by sitting down with the Party Planners (our class) for a short interview.

The rubric that will be used to assess your work is below:

Criteria	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4
Collection (questions etc…) - Sample vs. census - clear? biased?
Representation (Graphs) - accuracy - data choices
Interpretation and evaluation of graphs - meaningful interpretation
Interview - able to defend your data and interpretation to class?
