Student required training for online safety training.

After visiting the Buckwheat Festival, students will create a commercial advertising their student-created festival that highlights one of West Virginia's geographic regions.

Students work in groups to create a video of a news weather forecast to show their knowledge of weather vocabulary and grammar from the current lesson.

21C.O.5-8.1.TT7 Student uses advanced features and utilities of presentation software (e.g., design templates, design layouts (fonts/ colors/ backgrounds) animation and graphics, inserting pictures, objects, movies, sound, charts, hyperlinks, and graphs) to create an original product.

21C.O.3-4.1.TT7 Student creates a presentation of at least four to six slides. Student inserts slides and chooses backgrounds, fonts, and slide layouts. Student understands and uses different formats for viewing (e.g., slide sorter menu, slide show menu, normal view).

21C.O.3-4.1.TT8 Student uses existing common databases (e.g., online or CD-ROM encyclopedias, electronic dictionaries, and other online library archives) to find, sort and interpret information for classroom assignments.

Students can collect data in the classroom (height vs. shoe size) and input their results into Excel.

From there, students are able to analyze their data using formulas and tables to calculate the

line of best fit and correlation coefficient. Students are also able to create a visual representation

of their data to present.
