Time Frame:
3 class sessions of 50-60 minutes
Materials Needed:
· Graphics drawing program: Claris Works or Print Artist (Other graphic programs may be available in your computer lab.)
· Rubric for Invention (see Attachments)
Description of Task:
Once the first two sessions have been completed, the teacher introduces the invention rubric to the class. The teacher explains what the students are required to complete for their advertisements based on the inventions that had previously been chosen and then approved by the teacher. The teacher provides the students with a time frame to finish the advertisement and adequate time to work in the computer lab using a graphics drawing program. The teacher may require that the students have a basic sketch and idea of how they would like their advertisement and model to look at before working on the computer.
Both the teacher and student will complete Roman Numeral I of invention rubric: Propaganda. The teacher will keep a copy of the graded rubric before giving it back to the students.
Students turn in a model and its advertisement. Teacher uses parts 2 and 3 of the rubric.
Variations: Students could also make an oral presentation of the model/poster to the class and the class could vote on their favorites, or fill-out some sort of assessment on how well the model would work.
