1) Choose a topic (the list below is NOT exhaustive: you are welcome and encouraged to find another topic that is more meaningful to you).

2) Create a teaching resource based on that topic. This resource should be something I can use to introduce the topic to a new calculus class, to review the topic once they have learned it, or to practice the skill before the AP exam. It can also provide an extension to the topic beyond what has been studied in class.

3) Your teaching resource should be in a format that is conducive to your intended use. For example:

--if you are introducing a new topic, it could be a video of you presenting a brief lesson, or you could create a short movie from downloaded clips from youTube, and narrating them. Or create a powerpoint show with pictures of relevant items (maybe water tanks of different shapes and a statement about how integrals can be used to find the volumes of these shapes) with the appropriate math. Making a word document with a lot of reading and a brief quiz at the end would NOT be a good resource, as you, yourself, wouldn't necessarily want to be introduced to a topic this way. It's BORING.
--if you are providing a review, you could make an online quiz where there were buttons for hints, and it was graded at the end. You could make this with a utility like http://makeaquiz.net or you could do it yourself with powerpoint or another program--whatever you know how to do. You could write and perform a song summarizing a topic, make a Sudoko like the one we did in class, design a game, expand on a challenging problem….the sky is the limit. Just be sure the style of the teaching resource matches its intended use.

4) Once your project is complete, either upload it to a page in our Wiki that is appropriately placed in the Main menu, or else upload it to youTube or some other appropriate place, and provide the link to it on our Wiki. THEN SEND ME AN EMAIL TITLED "PROJECT COMPLETED" TELLING ME THAT YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE PROJECT.

5) For those who do not wish to create a resource, then collaborate meaningfully in at least 4 threaded conversations. You must create at least two of them. Your participation should include original thoughts, proper and clearly stated mathematics, and enough substance that you establish yourself as a knowledgeable authority on the topic in discussion: merely 'chatting' will not be considered meaningful collaboration.

GRADE:
20 points for complete participation, defined as:

· Creating a product that is valid, usable and appropriate
· Correctly uploading this product or providing a link to it
· Participating meaningfully in at least 4 threads, at least two of which you started.

10 points for partial participation, defined as:

· Creating a product that is incomplete, inaccurate or otherwise unusable
· Creating an interactive product that does not work, or is inaccessible
· Participating in at least one, but less than four threads, or not creating at least two threads in which you participate.

0 points for nonparticipation, defined as:

· Not creating a product or creating an extremely lame product (like a bunch of links to definitions on wikipedia)
· Not participating meaningfully in any threads.
