Lesson 1: Participate in a Poll

-

-

From the Home screen of your XO, click on the MaMaMedia icon.

-

-

Open the Poll Builder activity from the MaMaMedia Activity Center.

-

-

Choose a Poll topic from the list, and click the “VOTE” button next to it.

-

-

A Poll question and answer choices will appear. Read them carefully, then click on your favorite answer. Click the “VOTE” button to submit your answer.

-

-

After you vote, current Poll results will appear. You will see the exact number of votes cast (so far) for each answer. You will also see a bar graph that shows which answer is currently the most popular among the whole group.

-

-

Look at the number of votes next to each answer. Which one has the most votes so far? How many people chose the same answer as you? Which answer do you think will win? Why?

-

-

Look at the bar graph. Which answer has the longest bar? What does that mean? Which answer has the shortest bar? What does that mean?

-

-

Let each person in your group vote in this poll. How did the votes and bar graphs change?

-

-

After everyone votes, discuss the final results. What did you learn from the poll? Were you surprised by the results? How could you use this information?

-

-

Generate a list of ideas for polls. Record your ideas on a blackboard, on paper or in the “Write” program on the XO Laptop. What would you like to learn from each poll you thought of? What would you do with the results?

Lesson 1: Share and Collect Jokes

+

+

Exchange favorite jokes with your class

+

Go around the group and encourage everyone to share a joke they know.

+

You can also use a printed joke book if one is accessible.

+

Use the Write program on the XO laptop to create a list of the jokes told.

+

As a group, discuss each joke. Why is a joke funny or not funny?

+

Have one student record these ideas on the WRITE program.

+

+

Collect jokes for an original jokebook

+

Working independently, create a list of at least five jokes for your own jokebook. Write your jokes down with the Write program on the XO laptop.

+

Use the Internet and books to look for jokes you think are funny.

+

Ask other students and grown ups for jokes too.

+

Be sure to write down the name, age and relationship of each joke teller.

+

Do you notice any patterns? Do kids tell different jokes than grown ups? Do girls like different jokes than boys? Are there some jokes that get told over and over?

+

+

Draw pictures or take photos to go with each joke

+

Use the Paint activity or Record activity on your XO to make original images to go with each joke you wish to include in your jokebook.

+

+

Record a sound effect to go with each joke

+

Use Record to record a funny sound effect for your jokes. You can use the same sound for all jokes -- it will play when the answer to a joke (also called the "punchline") is revealed.

+

+

Now you are ready to make your jokebook! Go to Lesson 2 to review the steps for creating a jokebook using the Joke Machine activity.
