Monday, October 3

Good morning, Capstone students!

I am so sorry I'm not able to be with you this morning. I got stuck in Philadelphia and wasn't able to get a flight until today. Please be on your best behavior for the substitute and get as much done with your survey analysis as possible.

To start off today, please survey at least three classmates about the following questions. Remember to write down their names, too.

1. What will you do over fall break?

2. What do you want to change about next quarter? For example, complete all your homework, study more, never be late to a class, etc.?


Once you are done, we will compile your data about what everyone will do over fall break, just like we did last week. The data needs to be organized in a table just as we did last week.

After it has been organized, make conclusions about the information. For example, what is the most common thing your classmates will do over fall break? Are the young women doing similar things? Are the young men doing similar things?

What other conclusions can we come to about what people will be doing over fall break?

Again, as a group, compile, organize, and draw conclusions about your second survey item: what do students in the class want to change about next quarter?

Finally, work with your partners. Compile and analyze the data you got from surveying the younger students. Make a table for all of your data; see if you can make any conclusions about the answers you got.

Ask each other if there are any common heroes between the students you interview? Does it seem that students of a certain age group like a certain type of hero? Do heroes change as we get older?

Write down your conclusions to share with the class.

If time allows, all the groups will share their conclusions and we will see if we can answer our driving questions with the information each age group has found.

Driving Questions

Do our heroes change as we get older?

Do different groups of students have different types of heroes?


For your exit ticket, please click here (if you do not have an iPad, please answer the questions below on a sheet of paper).


Based on the results of our surveys, do you think our heroes change as we get older? Why? What data did you see tho supports this?
