Sea Camp Week Assignments

Assignment 1 - optional, but highley recommended
I gave out the unit review sheet and should students where to find the answers.  The test will be on Tuesday after Sea Camp so students should use this week to study.

Assignment 2 - Unit Project (Pick one of these options)
Option 1 Drawing (solo)
Follow the directions in the textbook on the Unit Project pages.  Remember that your drawing should be mathmatically similar, not just look like the original.  The other reminder is that the report will be weighted heavier then the drawing, so take it seriously and answer all the questions in an essay format that Mrs. Degi would recongize as you best work.

Here are some helpful videos on the drawing project:

Option 2 Song
(This can be solo or up to a group of 4 - It will be posted one the blog, but at your request it can go on youtube)
You will rewrite the lyrics for the song 'Call Me, Maybe' (making an mathematically similar song) to answer the majority of the questions asked about scale factors in the unit project text.  You will sing the song for the video and you will tunr in a typed copy of your lyrics.  You will record during lunch time (between 12:00 and 12:45) the week after we get back from Sea Camp.  I can take three groups per day for a total of 9 singing groups and the days will be assigned on a first come/first served basis according to who comments first to this post with their desired day to record.  Here are some good examples from years past:
Ay ma marin ser
rose abby eva

You will be graded on content not singing ability, but if having a video posted with you singing would embarass you, then don't pick this option!  Also, to do this right this option will take more time then option 1, however it is more fun for the more gergarious crowd.

Hints:
Your song will only work if you first count the sylables in each line of the original  and then replace it with the same number of sylables of new text.  Without doing this you will never be able to keep time with the song.  Also, I would repeat the chorus, but if verses repeat I would have each verse unique so that you can cover all the content nessessary.
