The School Project
ОглавлениеIt was Thursday morning, and the students of Class 6B were excited. Their teacher, Mr. Johnson, had announced a new school project last week, and today they had to start working on it.
«Good morning, everyone,» Mr. Johnson said. «Your project is about famous inventors. You will work in pairs, research information, and make a small presentation. You can use books, the internet, or posters. The project is due next Friday.»
The students whispered and looked at each other. Emma was excited. She liked projects and creative work. She looked for a partner.
«Do you want to work with me?» she asked her friend Lily.
«Sure!» Lily said. «I like inventors.»
The two girls decided to choose Thomas Edison for their project. They started by writing questions they wanted to answer:
When was he born?
What did he invent?
Why is he famous?
During the next lesson, they went to the library to find books about Edison. Emma read carefully and took notes. Lily wrote down important facts.
After school, they met at Emma’s house to work on the project. They made a colorful poster with pictures of light bulbs, phonographs, and other inventions.
«Look! Our poster is great!» Emma said.
«Yes, and we have all the information we need,» Lily replied.
The next day, they practiced their presentation. Emma spoke first. «Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He invented many things, including the light bulb and the phonograph.»
Lily added, «He is famous because his inventions helped people in many ways. He worked very hard and never gave up.»
When Friday came, the girls were ready. They presented their project in front of the class. Everyone clapped.
«Very good job, Emma and Lily,» Mr. Johnson said. «Your poster is excellent, and your presentation is clear. Well done!»
Emma and Lily felt proud. They had worked hard, helped each other, and learned a lot.
After school, Emma told her mom about the project.
«It was fun and interesting,» she said. «I like working with friends.»
Her mom smiled. «I’m glad you enjoyed it.»
Emma knew that school projects were not only about grades but also about learning new things and working together.
