Communication and Collaboration Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students: a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media b. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats. Lesson Objective(s) (Stated in observable and measurable terms) Students will be able to create an Excel Spreadsheet and Chart to show how to use Random Sampling of Favorite Colors. Students will successfully create an Excel Spreadsheet and Chart with 80% compliance to the rubric. Assessment Plan (What will be done to determine if lesson objectives have been met?) Students will be use the rubric as a checklist for completion. Students will give peer reviews for other students Excel Spreadsheet and Charts. Students will be to upload their Excel Spreadsheet and Chart to the class web site. Materials: The students will need their books, folders, notebooks, pencils, Random Sampling of Favorite Colors Packet, Excel software and computer. Inclusion Techniques for Students with Special Needs: The lesson will initially be presented in the computer room with teacher modeling. Then all students will have hands-on both in the school cafeteria to poll their fellow students and in the computer room. The students with special needs will be able to use the resource room or attend the computer tutoring sessions. Enrichment Techniques: The lesson will initially be presented in the computer room. Then the students who need enrichment will be able to work more independently. Students will have an opportunity to sample random students to ask: What is your favorite color? in the cafeteria, morning homerooms, or in the halls at bus dismissal. Students may be required to complete the project to show how to use the Random Sampling of Favorite Colors Packet.

Lesson Differentiation (What modifications/accommodations will be made to ensure that ALL students have access to and are able to participate in the lesson): Students will have access to their packet: the Random Sampling of Favorite Colors, the notes from the lecture, and their peers.

Students who still have trouble will be able to work with peer tutors or come for extra computer time. Students will be able to ask any of the adults in the room after they: Ask three before me. Students will have time in the resource room or after school computer sessions if needed. Students will have an opportunity to work with their peer tutors.

Lesson Presentation
Introduction/Motivational Activities/Anticipatory Set: Today we are going to use Excel to illustrate how to use the Random Sampling of Favorite Colors. We will use our knowledge of the Random Samples to create a pie or bar chart in Excell. Detailed Teaching Sequence: (Provide sufficient detail that would enable a substitute to effectively present this lesson. Bulleted statements are preferred)

Students will review the Random Sampling of Favorite Colors from their notes. Students will list the components for their Excel Spreadsheet and Chart. Students will watch the teacher create an Excel Spreadsheet and Chart layout. Students will watch the teacher create a few of the components to her layout and add details. Teacher will show an example of a finished Excel Spreadsheet and Chart.

Guided Practice/Independent Practice/Assessment Activities

Closure:

Students will create a Excel Spreadsheet and Chart Layout Students will add all necessary text and graphics to each component. Students will add color to each component. Students will ask at least three peers for constructive criticism. Students will upload their Excel Spreadsheet and Chart to the class web site.

Students will be able to use describe the steps they took to create their Excel Spreadsheet and Chart. Students will be to upload their Excel Spreadsheet and Chart to the class web site and access the Excel Spreadsheet and Charts of their peers.
