This was a great activity for my students during the 1920s lesson. It showed them how to think outside the box and how inventions change the course of our lives.

This has been great to have for a multi day sub plan or extension activity. It moves more quickly than the timing lays out, but all students can engage according to their ability and they find it fun and creative.
