Ridiculous Invention Project
Your invention (displayed) must make life happier, better and more fun! It can be silly but not offensive.
Keep it moral and legal!
This is an oral presentation and not a reading activity!
You can use different types of software to organize your ideas however this remains an oral presentation:
no reading! You can use images, statistics, graphs, quotes or all other elements that would help you
make your case. You are allowed to note your ideas on a cue card.
