Line of Best Fit Cool Video

This activity uses the British pound for currency in the data.  See how the dollar sign is missing and there is a different symbol for the money?  That is the symbol for the British pound. One British pound is worth $1.61 as of January 14, 2013.  The activity uses data for an collector car and estimates its worth.

How to Write Good (a hilarious joke)

1. Avoid alliteration always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. The passive voice is to be avoided.
4. Avoid cliches like the plague. They're old hat.
5. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
6. Writers should never generalize.
Seven: Be consistent.
8. Don't use more words than necessary. It is highly superfluous.
9. Be more or less specific.
10. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Writing Stations with Saving Money

Learning Goals:

• to recognize the importance of saving money early and consistently
• to understand how inflation and interest are related 
• to use critical thinking skills when evaluating a video clip's purpose, audience, and formulate questions students would want viewers to have the knowledge to answer

Activities:

1. Complete the short response on the BrainPop video from yesterday on banking and the  relationship between interest and inflation in regards to bank loans.  Type responses on PB Works site.  Create a Money folder to place the writing assignments for this unit in.
2. Stations:  Students break into 3 subgroups and watch one of the short videos  (Animal Savings, Family Savings, Sesame Street)  Students in each assigned group become experts in one of the videos and determine the following for the video: audience, 1-2 main points, and create 3-5 questions on the video for other groups to answer)
3. Students then switch groups and have 20 minutes at each video to answer the questions that were left on the white board.
