Description- Students use the Temperatures data set in their handouts to create a data set to show Normal Average Daily Temperatures in Eugene. The challenge is for students to figure out their category/column headers on their own, and make a line graph like the example in the handouts. Use the charts options in MS Excel to generate a Line Graph chart based on the data in the handout. Students must show data value by using the “labels” option from their “Toolbox”.

They then copy and paste the chart to an MS Word file (shown in the example). They need to use standard reporting page set-up with a header, title and indented paragraphs with 1.5-2 line spacing. They must write an introductory paragraph, show the data table, and write a summary paragraph that extrapolates and describes at least 2 pieces of data shown in the table.

Reflection- For this project, we used data that was given to us by Mr. Schiff. We put the data into a Microsoft Excel document and put in into a line graph format. Then, we brought the graph into Microsoft Word and wrote a little bit about the data. I like using line graphs because it is easy to look at the data and determine the maximum and minimum temperatures. I enjoyed creating this graph.
