2) At least 1/3 with photo background related to the animation (photo release form required for student pictures).

3) Every picture must have a sinusoid.

4) To be eligible for a C you must use 5 different basic functions.

5) To be eligible for a B you must use 7 different basic functions and synchronize to music.

6) To be eligible for an A you must use 9 different basic functions and synchronize to music.

7) Use of more different basic functions makes you eligible for bonus points.

Bonus points will be awarded for extreme creativity.

Deliverables (what you will turn in):

3) An Nspire file or files with all the relevant screens. One per group.

4) A listing of your functions. Where a particular function was transformed on different screens you may list just the parent function with a note, “transformations. One per group.”

5) A movie file (or link to uploaded youtube or other online service).

6) Each group member must provide a paragraph (or more) discussing:
a) what you liked and disliked about the project
