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.

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?)
