Phase 1

PAT 2010

Start

1. Write on what you must DO. – Begin with ‘I am going to investigate ….. ‘ – ‘Use Microsoft Office as a tool to produce the final

– Use some of the words from the main topic, e.g. ‘Healthy Life Style campaign’.

– Use words such as ‘to help complete’ and ‘ to help direct’.

– Used own words1. Write down the main question – short and clear

Be careful of number of marks given.

No relationship between the Problem and the Main

Question!

PAT 2010

Sub topics

• Decide on sub topics or headings needed to investigate

• What do I need to know to solve the problem?

15-20 questions

No relationship between the Main Question and the sub topics and small

questions!When counting questions ignore those

irrelevant to the topic.

1.17 Trustworthiness – 1/2

• Look at every source of information, e.g. web page, magazine article, person, etc.

• Write 1 sentence about each source (so if you looked at 2 web pages and did a survey, evaluate those 2) on: – Currency– Authority– Coverage– Accuracy– ReliabilityThen write – ‘This source is trustworthy or not trustworthy because

…’ for every single source.

Believe? Trust?

Look at

36

1.17 Trustworthiness – 2/2Currency / Timeliness

How recent is the information, but is the date important? Is the date of information given, the date of publication, date of revision?

Authority Is the author an authority in that field? Is the author’s name listed elsewhere as an authority?

Coverage Does the article cover the topic?

Accuracy Is the article accurate - Can you check what the source says anywhere else?

Reliability Is the information dependable and error-free? Are sources of information stated? Is the information verifiable?

When possible, it is best to compare the content with information in a traditional print or electronic resource.

PAT 2010

Evaluate every source with this table

Then make a decision on its trustworthiness!37

1.18 File structure

• Check logical file structure, same topics grouped together

• Clear folder names

• Clear file names

• No duplication

Phase 2

Part 1 – Report planning

I am pulling my hair out!

This all part of ONE project, it is not separate, it is all on the same topic, not a new topic! The results of the survey are shown in a graph. The survey asked questions to help solve the problem. The graphs will be shown in the final report, in Phase 3, and NOT in the Phase 2 planning document. Phase 2 Part 1 is a planning document. Every sentence must begin with I WILL DISCUSS …

PAT 2010 44

PAT 2010

Report planning

• Decide how you are going to write your report. What is it meant to be about? Think! Look at your Phase 1 questions!

• Put down your headings / sections and subheadings / sub sections

• Plan! Do not do the report

Report planning

45

Headings

• Under each heading and in each paragraph

– write what you are going to say

– write or show what graph you are going to use, if any

– write or show what picture you are going to use, if any

• Use styles for the headings

PAT 2010

Report planning

46

Applications• In Phase 1 you indicated what you were going to DO with the information • Now indicate how you are going to use each package to

collect/analyse/present the problem/solution, e.g.– Excel

• extract details from survey and display in graphs– Access

• use information from spreadsheet and use grouping to extract details and numbers, use calculations in queries and reports

• extract lists of people, and link with information from web pages– Word

• display information in table– PowerPoint

• present findingThink of all the features

you have learned in Excel, Access, Word and

PowerPoint

Report planning

In the planning document say which formula, query,

etc. you used

PAT 2010 47

Phase 2

Part 2 – Analyse

Now use applications

• Use applications to collect/analyse/present the problem/solution – Spreadsheet - Formatting, functions, graph,

integration– Database – Table, queries, reports,

calculations in query or report, integration– PPT – all the bells and whistles

Introduction

• Describe what you are going to do in the report

PAT 2010 52

Habits in detail – Use planning document

• Heading1 for 6 main headings• Under Habits heading – add Heading2s – must

make sense, not questions

PAT 2010 53

Habits in detail - Get ready – PATs

• Spreadsheet – Countif; graph – background ?, no amount of people, labels- must make sense; conditional formatting, print ONE page

• Database– Table – Imported, Records only, – Queries

• <> 100 – not equal to• Is Null, Is not null• NOT “hip Hop”• Calculation, Totals

– Reports – Grouping, Count– Report footer – Count, Average, etc.

PAT 2010 54

Under each Heading2 of Habits• Copy the graph

– In-line with text, centre

– Caption – Figure - short, to the point, needs no full stop, centre

– Discussion – Use highest, more, most, lowest, less or least– Cross reference

• Copy a calculation totals query from Access– In-line with text, centre– Caption – Table - short, to the point, needs no full stop, centre– Discussion of table - Use highest, more, most, lowest, less or

least– Cross reference

Maybe only have one set of comments with cross referencing at end of graph and query table.

55PAT 2010

Under each Heading2 of Habits

• Copy some totals / averages from a database report

• Discussion – use good language

It is clearly shown in Figure X and Table Y that ….

PAT 2010 56

Habits

• At the beginning of the Habits section add the words

In the following section I will discuss the habits of learners in my class: …, …, …, … and ….

Phew!

• Have taught so far

• 6 May 2010

PAT 2010 59

Problems - Found with the learners in my class

– Use same headings as Habits– (Look at the information in your graphs and compare

it with the information found on the topic.)– Discuss

• the subject where it is connected to what you investigated

• therefore based on the data shown in Habits the learners have the following problem

– Insert • Cross referencing to every graph/table• citations every reference to information found elsewhere!

PAT 2010

Good grief. Is that how the learner are!

Based on what I found in books and on the web, they will have this

problem and that problem!

60

Solutions - To the problem in general

• What solutions can you suggest for the young people in your class under the chosen topics?

• Insert citations for every reference to information found elsewhere!

PAT 2010 61

Conclusion

• Say what you intended in the report

• Say what you found and solutions

• Most one page

PAT 2010 62

Formatting

• Graphs – Insert captions – Figures– When you talk about the graph use cross referencing

• Tables – Insert captions – Table– When you talk about the table use cross referencing

• Every fact – Provide citation– Get ready for List of references

PAT 2010 63
