Intro: As apart of 5th graders new unit, Technology over Time (TOT), each kid had to choose a technology that made them curious about.
Step One: After we chose our technology to study, we'd have 3 to 4 days to do research in school and home about that particular technology. I chose The Typewriter. It made me wonder what came to be after The Typewriter or what is has affected.

Step Two: After doing all of our research, we had to take our notes and create a poster answering four simple questions.
- What lead to your invention?
- What was invented BECAUSE of the typewriter?
- How has it affected the way people live?
- How has your invention changed over time?
I chose to do an info graphic to answer the first question and then I did some google drawings to answer the rest of the questions.
Step Three: After we finished our poster in about 2 or 3 days, we'd have to think of how we were going to give a mini speech about our poster without completely reading off of our posters. We'd have one day of work in school and at home to prepare a mini speech.
Step Four: After we'd prepared and practiced, we PRESENTED! We put our poster on the whiteboard and we'd give a mini speech in front of the whole class while someone videos us. After our mini speech, the filming person would film 3 people with suggestions and or compliments.
