Doug's Homework

Hi guys -
I just talked with Doug and he said not too many people were able to come to the Kidz Group today, but that he and the kids who were there came up with a great homework idea. So here it is:

For next week, please think of an invention that you are interested in, and find out about it on the internet, in an encyclopedia or other source. (For example, Richie said he's interested in finding out more about the iPod.) In your notebook, write these points:

When was it invented?
Who invented it?
What are 2 good points about this invention?
And write 1 or 2 other interesting things that you learned by reading about it.


Finally, you need to write down the sources you used at the end of your report. If you used a website, write down the website like this:

My Sources
http://www.factmonster.com/

This is a lot of writing for you to do, so make sure you don't leave the homework till the last minute!!! Ask Mom or Dad to help you research on the internet if you need some help. (By the way, Fact Monster is a good place to find information. If you want to check it out, click here). If you have any questions, e-mail me or give me a call! See you next Saturday ...
