Monday, March 24, 2008 MOS Computer Classes

AIM: Students will be able to create a data sheet and a chart in Excel, and to save it.

LP; Students will complete the data sheet and chart preparation "35Sports" today. Those who completed it will explore other chart options using the Chart icon in the MS Excel toolbar.


DO NOW: Interpret in your own words the following quote: "The enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate and contrived, and dishonest, but the myth-persistent, persuasive, and unfealistic."
-- JohnF. Kennedy, former US President

Remember to use real-life examples to support your argument.


Students finished with the assignment can help others, as I walk around to help students individually.

Students should select a topic of interest and get statistical data to use in the creation of a datasheet for a new chart. Students may research such topics as : teenagers who drink alcohol, under age,; students who get pregnant as teenagers, students who graduate NTHS vs. MBHS vs. Nationally, and go on to college; or Students who join gangs.

There are loads of statistics out there, numbers of students in particular age ranges to gather data and use it in setting up a datasheet of your own or for the class, and then creating a chart using the data on a separate worksheet in Excel. This assignment is extracredit and should be done if the student is done with the other chart assignments.

Go to Page 277 in the spiral book for the Datasheet you will duplicate and to view the chart you will select and set up, from the chart menu icon.
