Seventh Grade Technology

The seventh graders have completed the assignment regarding uses for technology that do not simply fall under the "computer" realm. A two paragraph report on a chosen inventor was also an introduction to the Microsoft Word program. Students answered the who, what, when, where, why, and how of their chosen topics, and were informed of the proper way to set up a research paper. Title, indentation, margins, and paragraph structure was described, with more in-depth analysis of their papers to follow this week. An introduction of Medieval technology was also described to give background to the first project, developing a working catapult. Data will be tallied and entered into a spreadsheet to be used later in Math class.
