Hello Everyone!!

On Friday, September 2nd, we organized teams for our Invention Project. If you don't have a team, contact me and I'll put you into contact with someone in your group to work with. My e-mail is jessicarreon.cecyt2@gmail.com

Invention Project
1. Choose an invention to investigate its history and evolution
2. Write a 1-page, double-spaced report on your invention's evolution. PRINTED.
3. Make a time-line (big enough for the class to see) marking the evolution of the invention you chose. Use images, important dates, important information. Be creative!!
4. Speaking: use your time-line to explain your invention and its evolution to the class. Each person has to speak for 1 minute. Remember, no reading!! You get no points for reading.

This project has a total value of 7 points.
Printed Report: 2 points
Time-Line: 2 points
Speaking: 3 points

This is very important for your grade, so please prepare well and make an effort.
Enjoy your weekend and see you on Monday.
