At least 3 days before the project begins, but not until after you and the students are registered at Kidlink: If you have not done so already, create your classroom page by going to ------------------------->
2)  Pair your students. Have students choose (or assign) from the types of questions (below) one of each category that may be used in the project. If you have more than eighteen students make some groups of three. Do not duplicate. Be sure that each group has a different category.	3)  Less than eighteen students: teachers will need to have one group do two, and/or use extra categories as a teaching examples to ensure there is adequate data to pair with you corresponding classroom. Email your Your name, your schools name,students Kidlink nick names and assigned data group 1 to the Project Moderator: joyce@kidlink.net

 Day One In the Classroom

Have students collect (tally or frequency chart) the data polled from their classmates and save the data for day two. Below are just example answers. Student answers will vary depending on the number of students polled in the classroom. The x and y axis will be determined by the number of students polled and by the students responses data collected. A pie chart may be a better choice for your data display. Try percentages (conversion feature in graphing program)

1. Group 1 How many hours do you watch TV a day?( Example 0-1, 1-2, 3-4, etc...)

2. Group 2 Ancestry: Countries your Grandparents, or parents are from if different than the one you were born in? (Go as far back in your ancestry as you know as great grandparents are grandparents too.)
