= = =Summary= Students will study charts and graphs and how to analyze and report data. The overall project will be a news program in which the students, acting as different types of reporters create statistical graphs and prepare an oral explanation on what the graph is showing and explain the importance of their findings. These presentations will be video recorded and the students will then use iMovie or other software to create a news program. Students will be in charge of the graphics, scripting and other parts of production. The extension activity calls for students to pitch their newsprogram to the local PBS affiliate in order to air the program to a broader audience.
