I wanted to pass this on to all of you. This was sent to me by one of my
students in my distance learning class. We had talked about my making a
video for the class which deals with using the graphing calculator. The
paragraphs below are her ideas on how to "spice up" the video.
Enjoy!

Thoughts for your funny parts:
Student sleeping at a desk, frustrated dreaming about their calculator
Scene 1....in the "bubble" the dream shows the student's hand stretched
out holding a TI-85 with sheep jumping over the arm and the numbers
showing 1 - 2 - 3- to coincide with the sheep...UNTIL....along comes a
goat, grabs the calculator and eats it!
Scene 2.....(same sleeping student & bubble) Skeet shooting...hear a
"pull"..skeet flies, student shooter misses...same, same, on next pull,
TI-85 comes flying up and The Lone Ranger Steps in beside the student
and shoots the calculator...in the background the classroom stands and
cheers while the LR blows the smoke from the end of his trusty piece.
Scene 3...same sleeping student..."villian ..student with drawn on
mustache.." steals calculator from hand...ties it to a post, runs cable
to a pump device, presses pump and blows up calculator.
Scene 4...row of bullseye targets on clothes line...calculator in
middle. Student shoots from end and just when it is time to shoot the
calculator (this was my original dream)...You run out and say wait! Did
you know you can download Tetrus onto this calculator...then you close
the training video by teaching us how!
