Each person will be assigned one of 15 inventors; you will research and create a visual aid about your inventor. We will finish in 2 class periods.
On your visual aid (slideshow or Word document), identify the following information about your inventor and their inventions (focus on the inventions themselves):
-Your inventor’s nationality (what country are they from?)
-Approximately 3 major inventions (if they only have 1 or 2, that’s all you can do).
-Include images of each invention.
-For each invention, classify it according to industry: agricultural, textile (cloth), communication, transportation, or consumer good.
-List positive and negative results of each invention.
*In the positive category, note how the invention made life or work easier, or how it increased the productivity of work or made products cheaper.
*In the negative category, note any negative environmental effects, any negative effects on workers using the machine, or any people who lost their livelihoods after the new invention.
-Note whether the invention is still in use or obsolete (outdated).
-Create a simple bibliography by copying and pasting the URL of each source.
This will be due next Friday, 4/8; students will have one additional class period to finish in class.
