History

TIME CAPSULE

Prompt: Right now, you are living through history. Every generation has a historical

event that defines them. Some of your grandparents might remember the attack on

Pearl Harbor. Other generations lived through the assassination of President Kennedy

or September 11th. Living through a Global Pandemic will be something your

generation will remember. Because of this historic time, you will be creating a Digital

Time Capsule to remember the COVID-19 Pandemic. One day these will become

primary sources when we learn about the year 2020 and COVID-19 in history!

Language

Last week you had the opportunity to research an inventor or innovator. This week you will BECOME a inventor or innovator of a single product...But you won't be making your product just yet - that will happen next week! This week you will fill out your inventor/innovator log!

Your invention/ innovation must fit into the definition:

•Innovation: Finding a better or more effective way to use an existing product,

process, or service. An innovation solves a real problem. An example of an

innovation is the iPod. Although portable music and MP3 players already existed,

Apple made it even better with the invention of an iPod (and later on the touch

screen).

•Invention: Can be anything that solves a real problem, but it is something that no

one has ever thought of before. It must be totally unique! An example of an

invention is the Segway; nothing like this had ever existed before. Another

example of an invention is when Alexander Graham Bell invented the lightbulb!

Remember to have fun!
