Student's objective in this project is to ensure the programs are offered where they're most needed. To do so, students create a map by adding and enriching a layer of ZIP Codes with demographic data from ArcGIS Online. They also apply smart mapping and style the layer to show median household income by ZIP Code area. Then, they change the layer style to show median household income and child population, to identify which areas have the most children living in poverty. Students also configure the pop-ups to make the demographic information easier to read. Lastly, they report their findings to top donors and partner organizations by configuring a web app that tells a clear story based on their data.

Students will be involved in a group research of "How to" books and videos. Then, they will create their own "How to" writing using See Saw as their on-line creation "house". Students will work in collaborative groups during the entire process and learn how to complete the task as a team. Students will be given daily feedback from their teacher as well as final peer and teacher feedback.

Students will be designing a graphic based on the book they have finished reading in their guided reading group. They will use the app, Canva (www.canva.com), to create the graphic. The graphic will include key details, descriptions, themes, plot, summary, as well as other text evidence we have discussed throughout our guided reading time together. Students will create their graphics, and present them in a gallery walk for the rest of the class.
The content on their graphics will come from our guided reading group questions and discussions . They will record answers in their Google Classroom, based on the questions I post. Questions will be text dependent, and focus on comprehension, main idea, key details, point of view, and connections. Students will then synthesize the information and discussion topics to create a graphic about their book.

In these lessons, students play the role of a GIS specialist for a North Dakota advocacy group. The group wants to alert state and federal officials to this negative effect of the oil boom in order to receive more resources for housing and shelters. Students first download tabular (table-based) data on homelessness. Then, they map the data in ArcMap by joining it to state geography. They publish their map layer to ArcGIS Online and make a set of online maps anyone can access. Finally, students present their maps in a single, easy-to-understand web app.

In this project, students perform a viewshed analysis to determine the visual impact of a wind farm with four large turbines in a study area in England. A viewshed is the area visible from a specific vantage point. Viewshed analysis shows areas where observers can see an object or objects, or conversely, areas that can be seen from those objects. Although a complete wind farm analysis would examine other factors as well, these lessons focus on the visual impact assessment portion of the analysis. Students assess the visual impacts of building the wind farm by generating maps of zones of theoretical visibility under various assumptions.

In this project, students identify areas at highest risk of flooding and landslides during a major rain event. They first explore the region's dramatic geography and identify how the most flood-prone areas correspond with large population centers. Then, they determine where landslides are most likely to occur and summarize the population in these at-risk areas. Overall, students get a picture of the dangers faced in Boulder County and the costs associated with rebuilding in the wake of catastrophe.

In this blended unit students will review the parts of a story including characters, setting, beginning, middle, and end. Students will analyze a character based on their words, actions and thoughts. Students will describe complex characters, and identify character motivation giving supporting details from the text. They will explain how a character changes over the course of a narrative. Students will describe a setting and the events of a story using details from the text. Students will make inferences related to the details given in the story.
