=Stage 2 - Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

• **GarageBand**: Students will create a podcast explaining how graph transformations manipulate the appearance of functions. • **Digital Scrapboo**k: Students will create a digital scrapbook that demonstrates how the shapes of functions can be found in real life. • **E-folio**: Students will create an e-folio that demonstrates that students are able to recognize and produce the graphs of basic functions (in digital graphing software, such as GeoGebra) • **iMovie**: students will create a short informational movie that compares methods of solving functions to determine which is appropriate for the problem being solved. || • **Pre-assessmen**t: Students will receive a pre-assessment before the unit so that I will be able to gauge everyone's understanding with functions. • **Cooperative Learning Techniques**: Students will be paired to help improve their understanding of functions. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=
 * **Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form):** **(T)** ||
 * **Goal:** Your task is to use real-world examples of functions to demonstrate how their shapes can construct single object.
 * Role:**As a new member of Disney's Dream Team, you must demonstrate your knowledge of functions to include in Disney's remake of "Donald in Mathemagic Land".
 * Audience:** You must convince that executive producers of Disney that your original ideas on functions should be included in the remake of "Donald in Mathemagic Land".
 * Situation:** You and three other members of Disney's Dream Team must devise a way to convince Donald Duck that functions are an important part of everyday life. It's a big task, so they've decided to split the Dream Team up into groups of 4 to develop small segments of the movie. Your team will be given a function and the executive producers expect you to minimally: (1)explain the equation of the function, (2) explain the graph of the function, (3) provide at least two examples of how it is used in real-life, (4) explain how your function can be used along with all other Dream Team's functions to create an object.
 * Product/Presentation:** You will need to develop a movie clip and prepare a presentation for the executive producers of Disney. Both the movie and the presentation should highlight all requirements that the producers asked of you.
 * Standards (Criteria from both rubrics - product and presentation):**The iMovie will be graded on: storyboard/script, contents, workload, originality, technology use/quality and credits. The presentation will be graded on: preparedness, collaboration with peers, enthusiasm, content, volume, and time-limit. ||
 * Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):**
 * **Other Evidence** **(OE)** ||
 * • **Wikis**: Students will be graded on how well they defend an opposing view of the appearance of a graph after an in-class debate.
 * Student Self-Assessment and Reflection**
 * **Self-Assessment** **(SA)** ||
 * • **Blog**: Students will write about what they learned each day in class and the teacher can comment to help clear up any misconceptions. Students will have the opportunity to add or comment back to me when they still feel unsure with the information.

//**What understandings/goals will be assessed through this task?**// **(G)** • Functions have various real-world applications. || • Maine Learning Results: Mathematics - D. Algebra Functions and Relations a. recognize the graphs and sketch graphs of basic functions. ||
 * **Understanding** || **Goal (MLR)** ||
 * • Functions can be expressed in various ways.

What criteria are implied in the standard(s) understanding(s) regardless of the task specifics? What qualities must student work demonstrate to signify that standards were met?
 * **Big Ideas** || **Big Ideas** ||
 * • Recognizing Functions || • Graphing Functions ||

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * **Task Description:** **(T)** ||
 * Congratulations! You have just been invited to join the Disney Dream Team! After happily accepting the offer, the executive producers of Disney approach the Dream Team with a challenging task. They want the Dream Team to develop a new chapter on fucntions to include in the remake of the 1959 version of Donald in Mathmagic Land. You and a group of four fellow Dreamers has been assigned a particular function to address. For each function, the producers would like you to address the function's equation, the function's graph, at least two real-world examples of the function, and how your function can be used with other functions to create a shape that you and your fellow Dream Team members agree on. The more you work with your group of four and your fellow members, the better the remake is going to be! Work hard and make your section shine, because there a rumor around the office that the group that produces the best clip is in line for a promotion. Good luck and let the show begin! ||
