Log the 5 contributions in your blog, listing what it is, why it is significant, and how it would contribute to the museum's exhibit. Contributions can encompass any of the following categories:
- Architecture
- Math/Astronomy
- Medicine
- Recreation
- Technology
- Art
PART 2:
With your group, create a 10-15 minute power point presenting 3 of the most significant contributions. The presentation should be informative and argumentative in nature; thus, there should be a clear thesis and conclusion. Also, keep in mind that you will be graded on your presentation presence.
Check the evaluation section for the rubric. Be prepared and know what will be graded!
