Tuesday, March 18, 2008 Tuesday, March 18, 2008Ms. Kirshner's MOS class, Periods 6 & 7AIM: Students will continue to revisit and use MS Excel to prepare K-W-L charts and will insert information about what they know, want to know and have already learned into the chart.DO NOW: "The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." Type the quote of former Brittish Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli's and interpret what he meant, in terms of your own career at MBHS and in your anticipated future.LP: (over two -three days)Yesterday, Monday, we returned to the Excel environment of worksheets/spreadsheets and we opened up the "big green X" icon and we started a page that became the beginning of our KWL charts. I provided a printed KWL chart which was used as a model. Students were instructed to go to the top dividing line of each column to widen it and to go to the rows horizontally divided with a line and to move it or insert a row, using the Insert menu option. We explored the environment of the spreadsheet once again in doing this assignment.Today (Tuesday) we will continue to complete the setup of the KWL chart and then students will begin entering information about what they know about Excel into the chart's columns with text.Note, this approach to chart-making is only one method. There are others as well. We will also create charts related to data in our Excel spreadsheets in the near future.Note: If you have a communication to make to Ms. Kirshner via email, use the ProfessorKLK@aol.com address. Thank you!
