Bryan's learning cafe: home; our classroom; 6th grade ela 7th grade ela. 8th grade georgia studies. Ss8h3 (39 - 40) ss8h3 (pg. Being in the halls of Morgan County Middle School brings back lots of memories from 30+ years ago when I walked the 4 th – 8 th grade halls myself as a student here. It was some of my struggles (academically, physically, emotionally, and socially) during this difficult time in life that gave me the determination to make my class one that students will feel loved, needed, respected, and chall.

The menu project includes several topics in this unit: using percents, converting and comparing percents, fractions, and decimals. Students will work on this project in class over a period of 3 days. (If the project is given to students to work on at home, I would suggest that it be an individual project.) A fourth day will be spent with groups reviewing each other's projects and answer the applicable questions.

Students will be heterogeneously grouped in fours. I will encourage the low level math students to ask questions of their group to ensure their understanding. Also, I will encourage the high level students to lead, but not order their group through the project. It may be helpful to explain to these students what productive leaders look like. 'Group leaders keep their group on task. They make sure that everyone contributes ideas and asks for help.'

Students will receive a copy of the Creating A Menu Project.

Day 1

We will read through the directions as a class. I will explain my expectations and the rubric to students. Students will have the opportunity to ask clarifying questions.

The introduction to the lesson may consume most of the class period. If there is any remaining time, groups should begin brainstorming restaurant themes.
