9th Graders Create Shark Tank Presentations

In 9th grade World History I with teacher Melissa Winder, students are creating Shark Tank presentations trying to "sell" an invention or innovation that was developed during the Tang or Song dynasties in ancient China. Some students are trying to get the 'Sharks' to invest in their moveable type company, or to invest in gunpowder or the magnetic compass or Champa rice (check out the t-shirt the champa rice team made Melissa). In-class presentations began this week and will continue next week. Watch for more details and links to a presentation or two. Check out some photos of these marketers hard at work.
