FAT RESPONSE PRACTICE

FAT RESPONSE QUESTIONS EXTRA PRACTICE

1. What is your favorite class and why? 

2.  What is your favorite day of the week and why?

3. What is your favorite sport and why?  

4.  What is your favorite sport team and why? 

Ford Hybrid Excel

A Ford Fusion costs 21,900 dollars and gets 34 miles per gallon of gasoline, while a Ford Fusion Hybrid costs 27,200 dollars and gets 47 miles per gallon of gasoline. Assuming gas prices are fixed at 3.50 per gallon we will compare the total cost (car purchase price + fuel cost) for driving each car over 100,000, 200,000 and 300,000 miles.

Part 1: Create a spreadsheet and use the FAT Method to answer these questions.  

1. Is it cheaper to buy and drive a Ford Fusion or a Ford Fusion Hybrid for 100,000 miles?

2. Is it cheaper to buy and drive a Ford Fusion or a Ford Fusion Hybrid for 200,000 miles?

3. Is it cheaper to buy and drive a Ford Fusion or a Ford Fusion Hybrid for 300,000 miles?

Part 2: On a second spreadsheet change the gas prices to $4.00 per gallon and compare the total costs for each car.  
Part 3: One a third spreadsheet change the gas price to $4.50 per gallon and the price of the Hybrid to $32,000 and compare the total costs of each car again.

Lesson Plans for WEDNESDAY MARCH13th 2013 As you probably know I am out of town for my grandmother's funeral. I have created a video that explains what I would like for you to do. If you watch this video you will get the idea of what we are going to create.

You are STRONGLY recommended to watch the entire video. DO NOT have music/music videos playing while watching the instructional video. It is just over 10 min. long.

Adding a page to our Weebly Website

In this video you will learn how to add a page to your Weebly website
You will then hyperlink 3 different websites to your new page
1. agoogleaday.com
2. freerice.com
3. studyisland.com

Color Coding our SMART goals

After you write 3 SMART Goals:
 1 goal for technology class
 1 goal for another class (your choice)
 1 goal for anything non-academic related (examples might include a goal for improving your physical body, to be more adventurous, make the varsity team, attend church, to walk 2 miles everyday, to be better at a particular sport.)

Once you have created 3 SMART Goals please change the text in your goals to match the designated sections.
 (S)pecific to a Blue text
 (M)easurable to Orange text
 (A)ttainable to Purple text
 (R)ealistic to Red text
 (T)imely to Green text

example
Mr. LaValley's SMART goal

" I will take educational leadership classes online from the American College of Education. {rest of SMART GOAL here}...

 educational leadership classes online = blue because this is the specific goal that I have set for myself.

SMART GOALS OR NOT?

What makes these seemingly good goals NOT SMART Goals 

      I will do better in Math before OAA at the end of April.

·         I will graduate from college with at least a 3.0 within the next 10 years.

·         I will talk to Mrs. Petty daily throughout the month of March.

·         I will achieve a gold card for the 3^rd quarter of 2013.  Grades as of now 1 B, 3 Fs, 1 D, and 1 C

·         I will be nice to everyone for the rest the school year.

Creating SMART Goals

Creating S.M.A.R.T. Goals  

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely

Specific - A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific goal you must answer the six “W” questions: *Who: Who is involved? *What: What do I want to accomplish? *Where: Identify a location. *When: Establish a time frame. *Which: Identify requirements and constraints. *Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal. EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, “Get in shape.” But a specific goal would say, “Join a health club and workout 3 days a week.” ________________________________________

Measurable - Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal. To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as…… How much? How many? How will I know when it is accomplished? ________________________________________  

Attainable – When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. You begin seeing previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals. You can attain most any goal you set when you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out those steps. Goals that may have seemed far away and out of reach eventually move closer and become attainable, not because your goals shrink, but because you grow and expand to match them. When you list your goals you build your self-image. You see yourself as worthy of these goals, and develop the traits and personality that allow you to possess them. ________________________________________  

Realistic - To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. A goal can be both high and realistic; you are the only one who can decide just how high your goal should be. But be sure that every goal represents substantial progress. A high goal is frequently easier to reach than a low one because a low goal exerts low motivational force. Some of the hardest jobs you ever accomplished actually seem easy simply because they were a labor of love. ________________________________________  

Timely – A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there’s no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 lbs, when do you want to lose it by? “Someday” won’t work. But if you anchor it within a timeframe, “by May 1st”, then you’ve set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal. Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished. Additional ways to know if your goal is realistic is to determine if you have accomplished anything similar in the past or ask yourself what conditions would have to exist to accomplish this goal. T can also stand for Tangible – A goal is tangible when you can experience it with one of the senses, that is, taste, touch, smell, sight or hearing. When your goal is tangible you have a better chance of making it specific and measurable and thus attainable.
