Unit project assingment (and a change in due date)

Assignment 1 - optional, but highley recommended
I gave out the unit review sheet and the answers are posted on the blog.  The test will be on Friday before Sea Camp so students should use this week to study.

Unit Project Due Monday after Sea Camp (this is a change)

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:

s and s drawing part 2


Option 2 Song (groups of no more than 4)
(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 'Royals' (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 turn 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.

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In the torn up town, no post code envy

But every song's like:
Gold teeth
(2 syllables here)
(2 syllables here) in the bathroom
Bloodstains
Ball gowns
Trashing the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like:
Crystal
Maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes
Islands
Tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy

My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money
