1. What is the invention?
2. Who was the inventor?
3. When was it invented?
4. How did this invention change people’s lives?
5. What would the world be like without this invention? 
6. Did this invention lead to anything new?

Here’s your assignment:
1. Open a new Word document to take notes.  Do not copy and paste.  Everything must be in your own words.  Use complete sentences and your best writing skills. 
2. Go to my delicious bookmark page and visit some of the inventor sites. (Just click on the purple word “delicious”.  It’s a hotlink.) Search for answers to the questions and write your information on your Word document.
3. After editing, you will post your findings on your blog.
