Daily ParticipationA daily participation grade is simply a reflection of your effort. Every time I have to ask you to get to work you lose another 10% off that day's grade. All you have to do is participate. If you are done, then you should be helping another team complete their project. You will see your daily participation grade at the end of each class day.

The Plan:You have 2 1/2 weeks to build, test, shoot, edit and upload your project to my laptop. Your table will be shared between multiple classes, so you must not only communicate with the members in this class, but also your members in the other classes as well. Each class will shoot their own video and run their own tests. You are invited to work after school and during lunch. Your final work will be viewed by the class.
