Summary: |
This book shows the evolution of various inventions, using photographs and illustrations from the Library of Congress. It is suitable as a reference book for students and teachers and will serve as a supplement to various units of study. |
Teaching Ideas: |
The photos and engravings make this a fascinating reference, and teachers will want to excerpt pages that fit into units such as war or transportation. Teachers should note that the sentence structure is complex and may need some unpacking for students. Discussion might focus on the impact of certain inventions on life, e.g., impact on family? economy? politics? environment? Northeast Ohio teachers may want to combine this with a visit to Inventure Place. All teachers will want to use excerpts with units on various inventors, i.e., Wright Brothers, Henry Ford.
