Unit: Rumford or Cape?
Learning Target: I can use data and information to explain how my choices determine who I will become.
The Scenario: You have the opportunity to raise your child in either Cape Elizabeth or Rumford. Your family will earn $140,000. One parent is a chemical engineer and the other a nurse. This amount of yearly income would allow you to buy a house in either town up to but not over 350,000. That will mean very different things in each community -- you will very comfortable in Rumford, and house poor and struggling in Cape. Your child will have very different experiences in each.

Activity: Using census data from Rumford and Cape
Learning Target: I can use data and information to explain how my choices determine who I will become.
1) We will go over what you are looking at and doing.
2) Individually, identify what you find to be the most interesting numbers from Cape Elizabeth and Rumford.
3) Share out using the phrase "I noticed that..."
4) In groups, re-share with your group what the data is and why you find it interesting.
5) Share with your group what you think this SAYS about between Cape and Rumford.
6) In your group everyone should take a turn sharing what they think this data MEANS. Everyone needs to say what they think it MEANS (what caused it and what effect does it have on people)
7) Once again going around the lit circle each person should explain why this data MATTERS to them and their choice about where they want to raise their kid.
8) Each lit circle will then choose which piece of data they think is the most enlightening/important/interesting and be prepared to share out on the zoom what they think the data SAYS, MEANS AND MATTERS about the two towns and where they would raise their kid to be happy and successful.
