🎯 Learning Intention

Today, I will explore how technology has influenced history and begin planning a timeline project that connects inventions to their impact.

✅ Success Criteria

I can describe at least one historical technology, explain its impact in 2–3 sentences, and draft an idea for my timeline entry.

🧠 Warm-Up – Tech Journal

💡 “If you could time travel to the moment one invention was created, which would you choose and why?”
