Census Data: Rumford.  Cape Elizabeth  Norway. First you will explore the demographics of each Cape and Rumford.  What do you notice?  Then you will create a chart to compare side by side the three towns.  We chose Norway as a representitive of the Oxford Hills.  You will open up three separate windows so you can view the demographics and then create a pencil T-Chart the shows some of the biggest differences and similarities.  You will then be asked to report out from you table what you believe this means and the implications for you child and where you move.  This will become a paragraph.

Unit: Rumford or Cape -- Time to Decide

Learning Target: I can use research to make a decision and back up my decision with information.
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.
1) Your child. Make and determine the values you want your child to have in order for them to have a happy, successful life. Write three on the back.
2) Quick research on each town. Cape Elizabeth High School   Mountain Valley High School
3) Turn and talk -- what did you find?
4) Make your choice: Cold call. Your pick and why.
5) Place your child.
