• how to solve for "x" by factoring and revealing zeros. • how to find the max and min of an expression by completing the square. • why is this exponent expression equal to another expression if they don't look exactly the same.

=Introduction= //(Set the stage, give us any background info that we might need to know (but just a hint), this is your HOOK. Provide a segue to the Task . . . make your reader want to click to the next section. There should be nothing that sounds like school work in this section. Don't give away what's going to happen in the Task.)//

Dearborn Gymnasium is being renovated in 2013. UMF is asking that high school students in the area create an iMovie presentation that will show how UMF can MINIMIZE the cost of materials. UMF is asking for a clear and concise iMovie presentation that they can use in front of the president to get the construction passed and then later to show to the public in order to receive support from the community!

=Task= //(Tell the story of the Role, Audience, Setting, and Presentation. Be a story teller. Save any classroom-specific information for the Process. Build the scenario and stay in character. You can reference the Introduction but try not to duplicate the information that's in the Introduction.)//

//Your task is that with your group you create an iMovie presentation that could be sent to all involved with the renovation, but also that will show how the construction company can minimize its costs. The top video presentation in the class will be submitted. Good luck and let's get this construction project passed!//

=Conclusion= //(Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)//

//Congratulations! With your fine work Dearborn has begun it's planned renovations to start in 2013. The new model looks great and the school and community will benefit greatly from this. Thank you for your hard work and accuracy with helping show the benefits of this project and how we could minimize our costs. Great job!//
