Students decide upon a year level to sell pizza to, e.g., Year 2. Brainstorm (by creating a mind map) elements of organizing a fundraiser, e.g, providing adequate food, budgeting, number of guests etc. After creating the mind map discuss the elements that need to be addressed first. Students to create posters/flyers on Pizza Party, including date and time. As a class observe the Learning Object “Skateboard Survey”. Using the “FISH” strategy, consider the need to cater to guests’ tastes in Pizza toppings. Address the question: “How will we find out what pizzas Grade Two like?” Lead the discussion by asking students how to ask Year 2 students, when is appropriate? How do we collect the information? (This could be recorded on a class wiki or butcher’s paper in a rotational learning episode.) see groups NB: Depending on the students’ understanding and familiarity of the “FISH” Strategy, explicit teaching may need to be undertaken and/or revised. Record learning from these Learning Experiences in the Class Journal.

Discuss: Where do we complete the survey? What will we do with the information? (This could be recorded on a class wiki or butcher’s paper in a rotational learning episode.) Refine the question and narrow the focus of the question, e.g., “Which is the most popular pizza?” to “Which is the most popular pizza among the students in the class?” As a create the survey sheet which is to be completed by the Year 2 Teachers in the following week.
