Today we're going to begin our three-part unit on p-values. In this episode we'll talk about Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (or NHST) which is a framework for comparing two sets of information. In NHST we assume that there is no difference between the two things we are observing and and use our p-value as a predetermined cutoff for if something seems sufficiently rare or not to allow us to reject that these two observations are the same. This p-value tells us if something is statistically significant, but as you'll see that doesn't necessarily mean the information is significant or meaningful to you.

3. Post in the Proper Forum – Make sure you are on topic when you post in a forum.
4. Avoid making too many new threads; use the search function before asking questions - Many people before you likely had the same question, and therefore there is likely a topic on it already.

Depending on the accuracy of their peers' drawings, students will add more details to their essays.

How to PeBL ELA – A Scaffolded Lesson for Teachers
A "standard" lesson, based on "I Do" planning and execution, often results in the teacher identifying the outcome to be learned, selecting the resources, designing the comprehension questions and/or activity, and finally using some form of teacher-made assessment (ex. Unit Exam).
In an effort to personalize learning and encourage a "We Do" mentality, the following lesson was developed.
Note the teachers language at different times throughout the lesson. The teacher has still ensured students are utilizing grade/course appropriate content and some control over the lesson development, but has also increased student voice and choice.
"I have selected an ELA A30 text for us to view.
"Together, we will decide which outcomes we want to connect to the text and our assessment of those outcomes."
"Looking at our framework, which outcomes could we achieve..."
