Assignment #3-Birthdays of My Classmates
Description:
Students collect 15 names, date of birth, and ages of their classmates. Data is inputted to MS Excel with the formatting shown in the example. Students use the Autofilter feature in Excel to sort their data chronologically from youngest to oldest. They then copy and paste the data table to a 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.
The finished piece is saved as a MS Word .docx file and a .pdf file – the .pdf file is uploaded to their Tech Lit page on their ePortfolio and displayed in the standard format of naming the assignment (title), giving the assignment description (can be copied from above here), showing the assignment (link to the .pdf file with an accurate link name), and a reflection statement (restate the assignment task (WHAT), tell steps taken to complete the assignment (HOW), and what the student thinks of their effort and work quality (SELF-EVALUATION).
Reflection:This assignment was the best. I can’t wait to do it again. This assignment made my think and it was worth it. It was hard to gather my data but I will do this assignment again.
