What a great project. Graphic arts students consider the social, political, and economic impact made by a chosen invention. They build an argument to substantiate their reasons for choosing said invention. They create an oral presentation supported by visual media to inform and persuade their peers in seeing their point of view. Great essential questions and activities foster critical and higher level thinking.
