Inventions and Inventors

Today in class, we started our new unit. It is called Inventions and Inventors. In class we watched 2 different clips on inventors. We watched one on Benjamin Franklin and the other on Leonardo Da Vinci. We discussed the different qualities of an inventor. We chose a lot of different characteristics. We chose things like being a risk-taker, intelligent, creative, curious, smart and multi-talented. Then later we took a quiz in our planners. It was interesting to see the different ways people are better at learning things then others in different parts. There were things like Verbal/Linguistic, Mathematical/ Logical, Visual/Spatial, Musical/Rhythmic, Physical kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal and Naturalistic.
Later on we discussed each of our results, then Namuun and Jill drew on the poster. They drew a car, light bulb, cellphones and etc...
For the areas of interaction we chose Human Ingenutiy and for the IB learner profile we chose risk-taker.
