What skills do I need to teach my students to complete the project?

To complete the project I need to get help from John Thurlow to review the skills in publisher
to make a Venn diagram to compare the two candidates. They also need to go into excel to make
three different graphs to show the results of their survey - "Who do you think will be our next
President?" I also need to review the 5 W's when reading nonfiction text, which they need to read
when they read some of the chapters in "The People Pick a President" a Scholastic reference book.
Finally, I would like to introduce how to debate an issue when they debate - "Should the Electoral
College be Eliminated?"

Chapter 10 - Synthesis

Synthesis takes place in every information problem-solving situation. Most visible part of the
process.

Synthesis includes two aspects -organizing information and then presenting it.

It makes sense to use technology for synthesis.

As students enter fourth and fifth grades, they should have occasional opportunities to choose the
format for presentation.

Session 7 What have you used from this class?

I went to the Big6 website and copied a handout for parents for Academic Open House and
explained that we will be using the Big6 for a project in the spring.
I also asked an Essential Question - What would you look for in a US President? as an introduction
to the project I am doing for this class.
