Explain that there may not be a right or wrong answer. What cell phone company may be best for one person may not be the best option for another person… depending on what options are offered. Explain that students will have to display their findings and then defend why they believe one company will best fit their needs. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">LCD projector and screen, rubric, Internet ||

They should collect the data and enter it into a spreadsheet. They should also write equations comparing the price of the plans and how many minutes, texts, etc. would have to be used for the companies to be equal in price. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Internet, spreadsheet software ||

The presentation should be posted to a class webpage, blog or community board for other students to view. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Internet, spreadsheet software, presentation software ||

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Notes: If a student chooses to work alone, they may. If working in pairs, the students must present their findings in the form of a debate… arguing why that particular provider will best fit their needs.

<span style="background: #d9d9d9; display: block; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-background-themeshade: 217; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: center;"><span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center;">**MONITOR** **Ongoing Assessment(s):** Students will be given the rubric at the beginning of the lesson so they know exactly how the final presentation will be scored. However, they will also be scored on a daily basis based on their participation and ability to stay on task and on pace. As I walk around the room and monitor student’s findings, I will ask them questions about the process and about their equations and data analysis.

**Accommodations and Extensions:** Instead of asking students to find three providers on their own, I may provide them with websites to three major companies such as Verizon, Sprint and AT&T. I could also have a spreadsheet already set up for them so they just have to input the data. Students could also be paired with highly proficient spreadsheet users and tech-savvy students.

**Back-up Plan:** Have information for three major cell phone companies prepared in hard copy format. If necessary, this information could be given to students and/or displayed over the projector. Students could also create the tables, charts, graphs and equations on paper if necessary.

<span style="background: #d9d9d9; display: block; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1; mso-background-themeshade: 217; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: center;"> **EVALUATION** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 259.55pt; tabstops: 259.55pt;">**Lesson Reflection and Notes:** Students will hopefully take this lesson seriously as it applies directly to their real life. Students will be evaluated not on what company they chose, but how they came upon that conclusion.

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">DURING CLASS (2 class periods) ** v <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">In the previous lesson, students researched and compared three major cell phone companies. They then put their data into a spreadsheet and created graphs, tables or charts to see which company would best fit their needs.

//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Period 1 // · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(5-10 minutes) I will display and explain the example wiki page a created and give students quick instructions on how to create their own. · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(5-10 minutes) Students will create their own wiki page on the classes home wiki page. · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(10-15 minutes) Students will transfer their graphs, tables, charts and explanation for their choice to their wiki page. · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(10-15 minutes) Once each students or pair of students have their information uploaded, students will visit classmate’s wiki pages and comment on at least 3 classmates wiki pages. · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(5 minutes) Students will be instructed to return to their wiki page and view the comments that were left on their page.

//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Period 2 // · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(5 minutes) Students will be instructed to research if the company they chose in lesson 1 requires a data package for any phones or plans. · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(15-20 minutes) Students will complete the research about the data package. · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(5-10 minutes) Once students have found out if the company requires a data package, they will be asked to decide if they feel they need this feature. If so, students will be asked to defend why and when they think they will use the features of a data package. Also, they will be asked to consider if they can afford the data packages. Since the data packages are expensive, students will be asked what they would do with the extra money, if they say no. · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(10 minutes) Students will be required to post their decision and explanation on their wiki page. If they said yes, they want the data packages, they will have to defend when and why they need it. Also, would they have to give anything up in order to pay for it? If they say no, they will be asked what they would do with the extra money they would be saving. · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(5-10 minutes) Students will be asked to visit classmate’s wiki pages and comment on at least 3 classmate’s wiki pages. · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(5 minutes) Students will be instructed to return to their wiki page to view the new comments.

I could also have a wiki already set up for them so they just have to edit the page. Students could also be paired with highly proficient and tech-savvy students.

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Back-up Plan: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> I will have print outs of three major cell phone providers and their data packages. If needed, students will view these printouts and complete their analysis and decision on paper. Students can then get into groups and think-pair-share.

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">EVALUATION ** **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Lesson Reflection and Notes: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Students will be asked to write a 1-2 paragraph reflection on the lesson. They will be instructed to post this reflection to their wiki page as well. This reflection, in addition with their class participation and completion of each wiki page task will create their evaluation for the lesson.

A rubric for the project should also be prepared and copied ahead of time. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">MATERIALS AND RESOURCES ** <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Computers/Computer lab <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Video editing software <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">DVD burning capabilities <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Internet access <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Video Camera or a device that will record videos (digital camera, cell phone, etc.) <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">LCD projector and screen <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;"> ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">DURING CLASS (6 Class periods) ** <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -0.25in;"> v <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">In the previous lessons, students researched and compared three major cell phone companies.

The video should be in the form of a news report. They will report their findings from Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 as a story they are covering. In addition, another member should interview people in their town to find out how they chose their cell phone provider and if they have a data package. They should focus on how people compare the cell phone providers and if they use any mathematical concepts in that process. In addition, students can also gather data from the people they interview to see if people still have landlines or if a cell phone is their main sources of audio communication. If they do not have a landline, what are they using the money they are saving on? <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo5; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(15-20 minutes) Students will meet in their group to decide when they can shoot their footage, who will play what role (videographer, editor, reporter, anchor, etc.) <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo5; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(5 minutes) Students should put their plan and roles in written form and submit a copy to me.

Students will be required to write a one page reflection on the assignment. It should include what they learned, what questions they still have, what went well and what didn’t go so well. They should also include what suggestions they have for making this project run smoother next time.
