After reading the stories, creating questions for the moderator, researching debates in the library, creating arguments for their book, and designing book jackets and posters, students were ready for the live debate! They invited parents to come in and watch the live debate. It was also filmed so that students in other 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms could view before casting the vote. You can watch the live debate here!
Students had November 21st & 22nd to watch the debate and then vote on this Google Form:
After the votes were in, students analyzed the data provided from Google (a pie chart) and created their own bar graphs with that data.
To take it a step further, students pulled their graph image into a Google Doc and typed a question that would have to be answered by analyzing their graph. Then they used the drawing and voice recording features on the Seesaw app on the iPads to explain their answer. Seesaw provides us with a QR code of the finished work that was then added to the Google Doc.
Mrs. Wilson hung the graphs in the hallway and invited the 2nd and 3rd grade classes to try to answer the questions and then check their answers by scanning the QR code with the iPad and watching the video.
