Analyze primary sources with "observe, reflect, question" and have students individually observe the image before they share their observations and prior knowledge about the Civil Rights Era. Then together students draw reflections/assumptions and ask questions about the image - in hopes of propelling us further in inquiry and understanding surrounding Civil Rights Era.

As a hook to a lesson on the Stock Market Crash of 1929, 5th grade students will analyze five items: two political cartoons, one photograph, one sound excerpt, and one newspaper.

This is an on-board guidance computer used in the Gemini program. In contrast to Mercury capsules, which had no on-board computing capability, Gemini spacecraft required an on-board computer to assist in rendezvous operations and in maneuvers to change its orbit. Both were necessary steps to lunar expeditions undertaken with Project Apollo.

I am starting the 1920's next week and plan to use a series of images from the USPTO website showing filed patents between 1865-1930. I plan to hange these on the wall as a gallery walk activity to solicit students observations and reflections from the following questions. How is technology changing in America? What do the patent numbers and dates indicate about the pace of progress? This will serve as a summary to the rapid and unrelenting industrialization and technilogical progress which occurred in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The 1920's reflect the final frenzy of progress before the halting collapse of industrial production associated with the Great Depression. Purpose will be both a review and preview activity.

In my Marketing class, I do a project where students work in groups to "create" a company and a product new to the market that they have to "sell" to the school. The companies have to create an original logo. In creating their logos, I'd have students check the USPTO database to be sure their logo ideas don't match ones already registered in the database. Also, I would get students to use the patent classification system to give their new products a unique name using patent "language".
