The Bricks for My Pyramid



So I decided on a pyramid to display my information. I am going to write all of the bills on the bricks of the pyramid in the order they happened to show how the government became too powerful. They will look like this

  1. That's a great idea! I love it. It'll be really cute :) I think that you should also possibly include some cursory information about each bill on each brick too, though, so people won't be lost about what they mean.

  2. Thanks! And actually, I want to put this pyramid on a poster; and on the poster I would drag lines out to the white space on the poster and elaborate on them. Inside certain bricks, I was thinking of including the actual bills as primary sources.

  4. I really like your topic "Did the second world war allow the power of the US government to grow too large." I think that the way in which you have decided to display your information is very creative and will be very effective in explaining your essential question. I agree with Margaret that you should include cursory information about each bill on each brick. It will help keep your audiences attention as they will be listening to you and reading the information at the same time. Your poster idea is a good way to accomplish that. Very Creative!!

  5. I also think that the way in which you plan to display your information is perfect for your topic and explaining your essential question. It is important to include extra information so that everyone will be able to understand the bills. The pyramid idea is a very creative way to present and I think that it will maintain the attention of your audience better than a prezi or power point, considering your topic.

  6. I really like the idea of the pyramid. I think it is a really intelligent, creative, and effective way to portray the information. Not only is it attractive to the eye, but it is also effective in showing how each of the bills build on eachother, and depend on eachother to end up with the final product. Not only will it look really nice but it will also be really easy to understand and will definitely keep your classmates interested in what you are presenting. Good luck ! I know you will do great !
