Making a real life connection! We just concluded our 6 week unit on inventions. The students completed a web quest inquiry of eight various inventions that have influenced society. Then students had to select one of the eight inventions and write a paragraph explaining which invention they thought was the most important. For an end of the unit fun, and to make real life connections with our learning, the students got to try to eat with "chop sticks" The students learned that in China people ate wtih chopsticks over 5,000 years ago. Chop sticks were the first "forks"! Europeans wouldn't start using forks until they first appeared in Italy around 1100 A.D.
