 * **Goal:** Students will demonstrate their ability to recognize functions, their understandings of each function's use, as well as creatively demonstrate how functions are involved in our daily lives (both the equations themselves as well as their shapes).
 * 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. Executive producers want you to minimally: (1) use four functions (from real life), (2) build an object using the function, and (3) make functions a focal point of the new film. How will you and your team do it?
 * 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: requirements, contents, workload, originality, attractiveness, and permissions. The presentation will be graded on: preparedness, collaboration with peers, enthusiasm, content, volume, and time-limit. ||

=Introduction= Grab your popcorn and soda, because you are going to watch your favorite childhood movie! As you sit down in excitement, you can't help but remember the engaging story, vivid colors, and incredible graphics that made the movie so magnificent. When the movie begins, however, you find that you are slightly disappointed because the movie is not quite how you remembered it. The colors, the story, and the graphics are much....well, worse. You cannot help but think "this movie could be so much better if it was remade today". How would you remake the movie? What would you add, take out, or redo? What would bring the movie back into modern times and keep even today's viewers on the edge of their seats? We all hate to see our favorite childhood films become forgotten films that are locked away in the Disney vault forever, but where there is a will there is a way. Put your thinking cap on, and let the remake begin! =Task= =Conclusion= Your Dream Team did it and it will be your chapter on functions that will be appearing in the 2010 version of "Donald in Mathemagic Land"! Through your movie, you successfully convinced Donald Duck that functions are just more than fancy equations and you even helped him understand some shapes of functions and what some real-life applications of these functions were. You've earned your promotions! Oh, and by the way, can't wait to see you all as VIP'S at the premiere of the film!
 * Congratulations! You have just been invited to join the Disney Dream Team! After happily accepting the offer, the executive producers of Disney approach you and a group of other Disney "Dreamers" with a challenging task. With plans to remake the 1959 film, "Donald in Mathemagic Land", they want to include a new chapter in the film on functions. In this new chapter of the movie, you and your team need to prove to Donald Duck that functions are all around us by using real-world models of functions. Executive producers also would like you to use functions to create an object for the end of the chapter, so the style remains parallel to the rest of the movie. Remember, Disney's audience is primarily children, so any information that you include about functions must be simplistic and creative. Good luck, Donald and the executive producers are tough critics, but if you do well, a promotion is in your future! ||
