Interactive Technology Project done in Photopeach

Dear 9th grade class:

You have just completed a multi-media/technology-based project on your choice of African American Inventor. Although this was in recognition of National Black History Month, celebrated in the month of February, it was an opportunity to get you involved in working on something that you can call your own.

In light of your creation, write a paragraph of approximately 8-10 sentences in which you discuss how this project has better shaped your appreciation of the many contributions that people make to society. IN YOUR RESPONSE, you may mention the inventor you focused on, but you MUST NOT tell us everything again about the inventor. Instead, your initial post to the blog must be on how you have gained an insight into how you too can make contributions to your society.

In order to gain full credit for this activity, you must also respond meaningfully to two other students' postings after you have posted yours. WHEN YOU RESPOND TO YOUR CLASSMATES' WORK, YOU MUST IDENTIFY THEM. For example, you may begin, "I am moved or motivated by what Akeem and Germaine posted. Akeem metnioned that ... (Give a quick reference to the specific point and then make your comment on his posting; then work on the interesting point that Germaine made). Please be cordial and appreciative of other students' postings.
