3. Main Objective:
Students will describe the type of transportation innovation that has
occurred in America from 1903-2003 which was a significant
decade. Students will also categorize one transportation milestone
they have researched and turn into a short power point along with
the types of transportation they have found through the decade
given to them on that day, and present with the class at the end of
the week what collectively they have learned about each group of
years. Each student will know a innovation that has taken place
through this decade with 95% accuracy within one week, and the
following week presenting their work.
