  (idea maping)

i dont really now how to do that on here im sorry.

but i'll walk you threw it.

-in the middle of your page draw a rectangle and write "electric washing machine"

-then draw 4 lines coming out of it lable the 4 lines like it did when it came to "listing" then put three bullt point on each 4 lines. then give 3 deatails for each 4 lines : )

questions.

1. the topic of my favorite invention is the electric washing machine.

  "what i would like to know about my favorite invention is how long it took to invent the electirc washing machine from coming from the wash bored."

2. 1-who created the first electric washing machine.

    2-how did it impact how we do our laundry.

    3-what era did the first electric washing machine accur.

    "i feel like the best research question is how did the electric washing machine impact how we do our laundry."

3. the question that states "how did the electric washing machine impact how we do out laundry." is the strongest choice because if you think about it if it washing machine wasn't invented we might still be doing laundry outside in water it had a major effect on us and even tho it was created in 1910 we still use the electirc washing machine but now in our era we are perfecting it.

hope this ! : )
