Great wisdom is generous,

Petty wisdom is contentious.

Great speech is impassioned,

Small speech cantankerous.

HW: Research papers were due 6/1 and will not be accepted after 6/7. Research papers must be turned in to receive a grade for the class 3rd trimester.

Math 8: Today we did a quick review/warm-up of Box-and-Whisker Plots.  We began our last activity/project of the year on Data Analysis.  Students are to collect data through surveying their peers, make 3 different graphs to analyze the data (histogram, stem-and-leaf, and box-and-whisker), and finally to complete a short response reflecting on the data collected.  Students are allowed to work in groups of 2-3.  During the week, students should also be finishing up any late/missing work from the current unit (Lessons 12, 14, 15, 16, & 18)
