Ethnic Foods Survey (Updated!)

Students conduct a survey of their classmates' favorite ethnic foods, and display the information as a bar graph.

Application Exercises give students an opportunity to apply concepts they have learned in previous instruction. Work completed by a student will be graded through a variety of scoring options including participation and teacher assessment via rubric to provide flexibility with the type of grade sent to the Learning Management System (LMS) gradebook. Student work may include open-ended questions, correct/incorrect responses, a final product and/or self-assessment.

ISTE

S.5.b	Students collect data or identify relevant data sets, use digital tools to analyze them, and represent data in various ways to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making.
S.6.a	Students choose the appropriate platforms and tools for meeting the desired objectives of their creation or communication.

CSTA

1B-DA-06	Organize and present collected data visually to highlight relationships and support a claim. (P7.1)
1B-DA-07	Use data to highlight or propose cause-and-effect relationships, predict outcomes, or communicate an idea. (P7.1)

CCSS

ELA-Literacy.L.3.5b	Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., describe people who are friendly or helpful).
ELA-Literacy.L.3.6	Acquire and use accurately grade-appropriate conversational, general academic, and domain-specific words and phrases, including those that signal spatial and temporal relationships (e.g., After dinner that night we went looking for them).
