toc =Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

Role: Producer, actor, contractor, engineer Audience: Binford Tools, //Tool Time// audience, Tim Taylor, Al Borland Situation: Your job is to build or improve a home utilizing Trigonometry Product/Presentation: You will shoot and star in a pilot video for your own engineering show sponsered by //Tool Time.// Standards: You will be graded on two aspects: the quality of your video and the understanding of trigonometry in the construction world. You will need to produce a video that shows how Trigonometry can be used in the real world: the content of your video will demostrate your understanding. By coming up with examples in the constuction world, you are demonstrating your knowledge of Trigonometry. The second aspect of your project will be the quality of your video: in order to truely win this job from Binford, you will need to make an entertaining interview. The combination of of content and quality will ensure that Binford has another successful tool show. ||
 * Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form): **(T)** ||
 * Goal: Your goal is to make an engineering video based on the TV show Tool Time (because Binford Tools will be sponsering your show).

• Blogs will be kept in order to view the progress of the student's understanding of Trigonometry • Socratic discussions will occur during class based on the problems they were assigned to do for homework. || • Students will write essays that will compare and contrast their trigonometry experiences. • Students will be required to spend some time with the teacher during class to discuss individual performance in order to monitor the student's progress. Other students can use the time they are not with the teacher to work on homework. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=
 * Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):**
 * Other Evidence **(OE)** ||
 * • A test will be given at the end of the unit in order to demonstrate each student's understanding.
 * Student Self-Assessment and Reflection**
 * Self-Assessment **(SA)** ||
 * • A pre-test will be given at the beginning of the unit in order to see how much the students really know

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * //**Task Description:**// **(T)** ||
 * //Tool Time//, a popular TV show in the Detroit area, wants to branch out of the construction world and into the engineering world in order to demonstrate proper construction strategies and to lure people away from Tim Taylor's "more power" designs. You, from the //Tool Time// audience, are chosen to film a pilot of your own show that you will name, star in, and produce. Your show will be a "Salute to Trigonometry" and you will demonstrate the importance of Trigonometry in design and construction. The team that makes the best pilot episode will win the chance to produce their own TV show. Tim Taylor, Al Borland, and representatives from Binford Tools will be the judges. ||
