We use the novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret for our textbook. This book explores innovation from the eyes of a young boy growing up in some difficult situations in olden day Paris, France. Throughout the unit students explore and research famous inventors. They create their own invention, which they display at our annual "Trash to Treasure" Invention Fair. Plus, they learn elements of persuasion through infomercials. With those elements, they create and record their own infomercial, which is played throughout the invention fair.
Today is just beginning of a month long journey that will conclude at Milwaukee's Discovery World in early June. LET THE FUN BEGIN!
