TEACHER NOTES
1. Essential Question
How would our world be different if not for evolution of the engineering and manufacturing process?
2. Final Project
The student will do an individual research project on the evolution of a mechanical device. It will be the student’s choice of topic, and then write a report according to guidelines, and present the findings (Powerpoint) to the class on his/her project. The focus is to increase the student’s ability to effectively communicate written and oral thoughts and concepts to others.
Must be a five paragraph report, five sentences in each paragraph. It should address the original product, evolution of that product and the current version of the product. Attempt to address the essential question in your writing.
Should contain an introduction paragraph, support paragraphs and a conclusion paragraph.
The focus within the writing will be on Ideas and Content, Organization and Conventions.
The presentation will be a minimum of four minutes in length.
A minimum of five slides, not to be all photos.
The class presentation will be assessed on technique, audience appeal, length in time, presentation ability.
3. Evaluation Method
A rubric will be used in the assessment process, it will focus on:
1. Ideas and Content
2. Organization
3. And Conventions
The written report will be provided and then kept in the design notebook as a part of the portfolio.
4. Activity plan to support skill development
1, Students will brainstorm ideas for a possibilities for topics
for this project.
2, A concept paper will be turned in and approved by the instructor. (See concept form)
3, Two days of time will be assigned for research on the project.
4. Two additional classes will be used working on the research document and the oral presentation (Powerpoint).
5, The students will present to the class.
6. The students will be called on and must be ready to present in order to get full credit.

Alignment
CTE Industry Standard (e.g. Oregon Skill Set)
Common Core State Standards. WHST : 2,6,7,and 8
Grades 9/10, 2. Write informative/explanatory texts, including the narration of historical events, scientific procedures/ experiments, or technical processes. a. Introduce a topic and organize ideas, concepts, and information to make important connections and distinctions; include formatting (e.g., headings), graphics (e.g., figures, tables), and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension. b. Develop the topic with well-chosen, relevant, and sufficient facts, extended definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples appropriate to the audience’s knowledge of the topic. c. Use varied transitions and sentence structures to link the major sections of the text, create cohesion, and clarify the relationships among ideas and concepts. d. Use precise language and domain-specific vocabulary to manage the complexity of the topic and convey a style appropriate to the discipline and context as well as to the expertise of likely readers. e. Establish and maintain a formal style and objective tone while attending to the norms and conventions of the discipline in which they are writing. f. Provide a concluding statement or section that follows from and supports the information or explanation presented (e.g., articulating implications or the significance of the topic).
6. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products, taking advantage of technology’s capacity to link to other information and to display information flexibly and dynamically.
7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
8. Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the usefulness of each source in answering the research question; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation.
