Weird Inventions

Why do we invent things and how do we know when we have a good idea?  Can you think of something that we need and has not yet been created?

In this Voice Thread you will be seeing some inventions that may be just what you have always been needing.

As you look at them, consider and answer these questions:

• What does it do?
• Why were these Created?
• Who would use these?  Would You?
• Is it a good idea?
• How would you improve upon it?

Before recording, plan your response and make notes of what you will say to answer the questions. 

Practice reading your comments and make sure your voice inflection and word choice make you interesting to hear.
