Invention Convention
Today you read and/or discussed inventions from the Gilded Age and Enlightenment that
were revolutionary. Today you will team up in pairs and attempt to create your own dynamic

Make sure that you have written answers to these questions
2. Illustrate your concept
Using a piece of computer paper, I want you to illustrate what your invention would look like.
This should be as vivid and detailed as possible. If it is a model or a recipe, I want an
illustration. (Be specific, not Dr. Pepper mixed with Sprite)
3. For the next class all of these elements must be completed in order to be turned to

1. Written response to questions (Back of this paper)
2. Illustration of the concept (Separate piece of computer paper)
