I'm sure that some of you will be devastated to hear that the 'clicker' version of the test is not on my computer which means unfortunately (since 'clicker' test typically have higher average grades) that you will have paper versions. Study hard tonight, you will not have a chance to know that your answers are wrong on paper until it is too late.

This is the rubric that I will use FOR EACH BULLET POINT. Please self grade you work before you turn it in. It will help.
Remember that your work (other than your graph) should be typed, single spaced, 12-point ariel font, and in a form that Mrs. Degi would recognize as good work.

Linear equations project option 2 - the song - TOTO Africa
Here is the karaoke link on youtube that we will use:
Africa karoake
Here's the original song so you can hear what it sounds like:
Africa - Toto
Hint:
The most important you can do to make sure your song sounds right is to count the syllables in each line and make sure that the lines in your song match those of the original song. That's far more important then any rhyming scheme.
If you can manage it, have someone in your group sing the background as well as singing the main lines.
Requirements:
Your song should either deal with equations of lines (easier I think because there is more material) or solving linear equations. You will right lines for the entire song. You can work in a group of no more then 4. The song will be recorded and posted on the blog and you will have an option to post it on youtube. Your song will be typed and you will give me a copy of your song so that I can follow along as you sing.
Things that must be addressed
Linear equations:
y=mx+b
finding slope
rise/run
finding y-intercepts
meaning of slope and y-intercept
uses of linear equations
Solving:
Properties of equality
the mechanics of how to solve and equation with an example
(it will take some imagination to fill the entire 4 minute song with this)
Remember, you are choosing this option instead of doing the ball drop experiment and written report.

Here are the lyrics:
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in the 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you!"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
{ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/toto-lyrics/africa-lyrics.html }
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Scale Factor songs
OK, Here is the link to the youtube kareoke that we will use for the songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPYqLFokZtA&feature=related
The requirements are for you and your partners (no more then 3 total) will rewrite the song 'I'm Yours' by JAson Mraz so that one can learn how to
1)find scale factors
2)use scale factors
3)the relationship between the scale factor and areas of similar figures
4)How to determine if two shapes are similar
5)What is congruence
you must pick 3 out of the 5 points.
The trick is to count out each syllables for each line and make sure that your lyrics have the same number of syllables in it.
Lyrics according to lyricsmode.com
Jason Mraz
I'm Yours lyrics
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn, to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jason_mraz/im_yours.html ]
And do ya want to scooch on over closer dear,
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see ya clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm yours
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
So please don't, please don't, please don't, there's
No need to complicate cause our time is short this
Oh this oh this oh this is our fate, I'm yours
Have fun

Congratulations Cross Country Teams!
The girls team finished an impressive 2nd in the district while the BOYS' WON THE DISTRICT TITLE!
Great job all runners. Dakota was 4th, Colin C. was 5th, and Kyle was 6th! To be honest, the girls finished far better then I thought they would with many gutsy runs. I am so proud of all of you.
