Favorite Benchmark
What I wound up choosing was community service hours. So I looked up for all fifty states how much people who didn’t wish to volunteer got paid per hour. Then I compared that to the population, minimum wage, per capita income, and if they officially spoke English or not. I found this not only to be doing as my project but also being able to look up this information and work with it. Then the other fun part of it was having to write the speech in which “if chosen” you would recite to President Obama. So yea definitely the funniest project and the project that was coolest and most open that we got to do.
Core Values:
Inquiry- I asked what was something that I find interesting and that would be useful to use in the project. Also if i would be able to apply the things that we had learned in class to help me with my data once collected and that would let me accomplish all that was required.
Collaboration- I asked some classmates for help with calculations and Mrs. Thompson for help with where to find the data and doing the math.
