Technology and the African American Inventor
The purpose of this lesson is to create an awareness and understanding that important technological advances within our culture, in a variety of areas, are the result of the work done by a diverse group of people, many of whom are African Americans. To this end, students will be actively involved in discussions, research, and sharing sessions. Between six and ten class periods will be necessary for this lesson
Materials Needed: * overhead projector
* transparency list of American inventions from a cross-section of society
* a student guide for each group with 2-3 African American inventors listed
* computer lab arrangements
A web page of the sites would also be beneficial so that students could work more efficiently.
