Need an online
lesson plan? If you are a teacher, in need of a 5-day lesson plan online for your students who may be home due to school closures, you've come to the right place! I have put together two lesson plans that will allow students to analyze several graphs throughout the week. Students will respond to guiding questions that will get them thinking deeply about: Week #2: Food Intake & Obesity in the U.S. In order for your students to see the graphs they are writing about, refer them to graph links above, or you can access them yourself and post them to your webpage. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

The New GOW: A 3-Part Analysis
For those of you who would like your students to engage in a deeper analysis of the GOW, this new format (2-sided) might be worth a try: Part A: Analysis (same as what GOW is now) Part B: What can you foresee happening in the near future? Part C: Based on your response in Part B, what solution(s) can you investigate or what other information/resources can you gather to strengthen your argument? I have found in recent years that some of my students want to share alternate perspectives to the information the graph portrays. They give historical context, present a counterargument by citing another source, or want to justify their stance based on personal experience or prior knowledge. I purposely left a bit of space after part C in case you may want students to make your own part D: you can have them create another graphical representation of their own, or make an illustration or cartoon, etc. So this year, I'm trying out this new 3-part written analysis that will give my students a platform in which they can share a bit more. I can't wait to see what they come up with! Click on the image below.
