6. The questions that help guide your paragraphs are below.
Which social groups (inside and outside of
school) are you a part of?
If you had to decide which group is the most
influential one in your life, which would it be?
Describe, in great detail, your “main” social
group. What commonality does each of these people have? What keeps you all
together? How did this group start?
How has this group molded your identity? This
may take thinking. “It hasn’t” will not be accepted.
What part do you play in this group? Are you a
leader or follower? Are you the entertainer? Are you the glue that holds the
group together?

Math Enrichment-Web Quest 3
Activity:
If you did not finish yesterday's activity, then finish it first.
Tables and graphs are commonly used
to summarize sports statistics. Standings for teams and leagues are often
summarized in tables, and historical data about a sport or event is often
summarized in graphs.
- Choose a country and collect historical data on this
country’s Olympic performances. If
you chose the United States (which you cannot), then you would collect data on how many
participants the US has had throughout the history of the Olympics and how
many of each metal (gold, silver, and bronze). You must choose a country that has participated in the last ten Olympics and has at least fifteen metals (total).
- Decide which type of graph is appropriate for summarizing
your data.
- Graph your Olympic data.
When you are finished, you may play Math games online.

STEM/ Math Enrichment--October 3
STEM:
Today's activity will require you to do a WebQuest found at http://millercrimewebquest.weebly.com. As you are on this website, begin by reading the introduction and then moving on to the tab that says "Process." There you will find information about types of crimes, due process, and steps within the criminal justice process.
You are asked to create a t-chart (google that if you do not know what that is) with types of crimes and the sentencing that a person can receive for each crime. You will also need to create a diagram of the criminal justice process. You do not need to create a presentation as the WebQuest asks of you to do.
Math:
Finish the assignment from last Thursday. When you complete that assignment, you need to work on IXL. Log-in information and directions for this website are found elsewhere on this website. Do not be lazy. Look it up.
