Objective:
This short video project will help you and your classmates remember the definitions of the chapter’s key words. It’s your chance to show your creative side in math class.

Description:
For each unit, your group will be assigned one vocabulary word or concept. Your group will have to create a 2-3 minute presentation (movie) that will help your classmates remember the definition of your word. For an example of a completed video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOjF2Odm6OQ


You will receive an individual quiz grade for this assignment. Your video should be creative and SCHOOL APPROPRIATE. All of group members must participate; you will grade each other.

You will be graded on:
1. Completion: Your group’s 2-3 minute video (uploaded to youtube or to a cd) by the chapter review/group test day.
2. Quality: Did you define your word correctly? Was your video easy to understand? Easy to hear? School appropriate?
3. Creativity: Your classmates and I will judge your video every unit. The most creative/memorable video will receive a oscar.

A Good Questions to Ask While Making Your Movie:
Will our classmates know exactly what our word means after our movie? (For example: If your word was multiplier, would your classmates be able to describe what a multiplier is and how to find one?)
