Inventors Showcase Presentations

Directions: ​Each of you will be assigned an inventor who lived during the Industrial Revolution.
Then, you will need to conduct research on your inventor as well as their most famous
inventions.

Next, you will prepare first person accounts of your assigned inventor’s most famous invention
to present in class.

You will need to give background on why the inventor created the device as well as demonstrate
how the device works. This demonstration can be done by showing pictures of the device on
Google Slides or another presentation software/website (Prezi, etc.) ​Note: You are not allowed
to use videos to demonstrate how the device works.

We will then present during our Inventors Showcase where you will present the invention as if
you are the inventor from that time in history.

 Nationalism and Unification Letter Writing Project

Directions:​​ Write a letter from the perspective of someone within the movement of nationalism
and/or unification in a particular country. You may choose any country we talked about in the
notes (for South America, write from the perspective of someone following either Jose de San
Martin or Simon Bolivar).

This letter needs to talk about the following points:

● What is the purpose of this movement
● Who are the leaders/important people in this movement
● Where is this movement taking place
● What is the result of the movement (what changes, if any, occurred)

This letter must be written from a first person perspective, meaning that you need to write it as
though you are there participating in the movements.

This letter needs five paragraphs (an intro, three body, and conclusion) that EACH have 3-5
complete sentences.

 Summative Assessment for Chapters 10/11

For this assignment, you will be given two projects to choose from and you must pick ​one​​ to
complete.

Choice 1:​​ You are designing a social studies textbook for a textbook company. Create a timeline
of the top twenty events that occurred during both Industrial Revolutions. The timeline needs to
span the entire time period that is covered in this section. Timelines can either be hand-drawn or
created on your Chromebooks. Each event on the timeline needs an image or symbol attached to
it (this does not have to be a detailed image or symbol, just something small to help show where
it is on the timeline). For each of the twenty events on the timeline, there needs to be a 2-3
sentence written explanation on a separate sheet of paper. This explanation needs to give a
summary of the event and explain ​why​ you chose this event and why it is important. Below is a
rubric detailing what I am looking for in this project.

Choice 2:​​ You are a cartoonist working for a newspaper. Design three political cartoons
discussing major events that happened during the times of the Industrial Revolutions. There
needs to be three political cartoons, one from the First Industrial Revolution and one from the
Second Industrial Revolution (the third one you can choose either one). The cartoons can be
hand-drawn or created on your Chromebooks (note: I am not grading you on your artistic ability,
but rather your ability to show your knowledge of this time period through your cartoon). With
each of the three cartoon, there needs to be a 5-7 sentence paragraph detailing what the cartoon is
depicting and what topics or events are being referenced. Below is a rubric detailing what I am
looking for in this project.

This assignment needs to be handed in with ​either ​a physical copy OR emailed to

caleb.stults@cune.org.

This assignment is due ​October 8, 2018 at ​the beginning of class​​.
