Add in all the required information. You will be graded using the rubric below:

 

RUBRIC for your AFL on the INVENTION TIMELINE	Beginning	Approaching	Meeting	Exemplary
	I really struggled to examine the effects of my invention, on society, for better and for worse, intended and not.	I nearly met the target- missing just a few opportunities to examine the effects of my invention, on society, for better and for worse, intended and not.	I can examine the effects of my invention, on society, for better and for worse, intended and not.	I can examine the effects of my inventions, on society, for better and for worse- beyond the predictable ones (unique perspective)

When done, pick up a self-assessment and assess yourself.
