SELL THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION!
- Your task is to sell an invention from the Industrial Revolution. As you know, new technologies require a lot of investment and not everyone was ready to invest so much if the payoff was not a guarantee. You will be placed in groups of four and select an invention during class and create a 30 - 90 second advertisement for your project. Once you have completed your ad, upload it to YouTube and we will post it on the Weebly. We will watch the advertisements on December 19th together in class. We look forward to seeing what creative ways you devise to sell the invention!
