  2. Do Not Give Students Permission to Forget • For the purpose of teaching how to create a Histogram in Excel, we are going to use data on student success in remembering vocabulary for a particular class. • A quiz will be given every other week on a sampling of vocabulary for the class. • The results of each quiz will be charted in a Histogram. • The teacher will share the chart with the students to form a plan to increase student success. IT Cadre 2006

  3. L to J Charts Your first quiz would show a chart in the form of the Lbecause students would be unfamiliar with vocabulary. As students’ quiz scores improve, the chart would move to a Bell Shape. Your final assessment would look like a J because most students would have mastered the vocabulary. IT Cadre 2006

  4. Data Collection Using Vocabulary Quizzes • Make a list of the vocabulary that students need to learn for background knowledge for the entire year (example: 100 words). • Write each word on a separate index card and place them in a fish bowl. • Give a quiz bi-weekly on a sampling of words pulled randomly from the fish bowl. • The sampling should equal the square root of the total number of words (example: the square root of 100 is 10). IT Cadre 2006

  5. Quiz • Give the quiz. • Put the results in an Excel Spreadsheet. • Create a bar graph (Histogram) to illustrate your results. • Share and discuss your results with the class. IT Cadre 2006
