AFRICAN AMERICAN INVENTOR PROJECT **


 * Dear Students,

I did an evaluation of how yesterday went with the start of this project. Based on my evaluation, I have decided to allow people to work on this project alone if they want to. In fact if you do better on your own and are quiet on your own, then I encourage you to work on it by yourself. You may pick 1 of the 4 options below (PowerPoint, timeline, paper, or brochure) to complete this project. You will not be required to present this in front of the class. The "Project Guidelines" at the bottom of this page still apply. Be sure to have a flash drive to save your work as the technology is not that dependable as of late.

Mr. Toth
