Hello, guys,
Para encerrar o segundo bimestre vocês devem apresentar dois trabalhos: um cartaz/anúncio publicitário divulgando um produto e um texto descrevendo uma invenção ( section 4 - writing/research ). Caprichem o máximo que puderem e usem os links fornecidos abaixo para a pesquisa sobre o invento que escolherem.
Este é um modelo do texto e formato do trabalho e das questões que o mesmo deve conter:
BLUE JEANS
Levi Strauss (1829-1902) was an entrepreneur who invented and marketed blue jeans. Trained as a tailor in Buttenheim, Bavaria, Germany, Strauss went to San Francisco, USA from New York in 1853. Strauss sold dry goods, including tents and linens to the 49ers (the people who came to the California gold rush, which began in 1849).
One of Levi's many customers was a tailor named Jacob Davis. Originally from Latvia, Jacob lived in Reno, Nevada, and regularly purchased bolts of cloth from the wholesale house of Levi Strauss & Co. Among Jacob's customers was a difficult man who kept ripping the pockets of the pants that Jacob made for him. Jacob tried to think of a way to strengthen the man's trousers, and one day hit upon the idea of putting metal rivets at the points of strain, such as on the pocket corners and at the base of the button fly.
In 1873, Strauss and Jacob Davis, a Nevada tailor, patented the idea (devised by Davis) of using copper rivets at the stress points of sturdy work pants. Early levis, called "waist overalls," came in a brown canvas duck fabric ( brim de algodão ) and a heavy blue denim fabric. The duck fabric pants were not very successful, so were dropped early on. His business became extremely successful (and still is), revolutionizing the apparel industry.
WHAT INVENTION IS THIS? / QUAL É A INVENÇÃO?

HOW WAS IT INVENTED? / COMO FOI INVENTADA?
Levi Strauss was a trained tailor who went to work in San Francisco. He sold tents and linens during the gold rush. One of his customers, Jacob Davis, devised a way to strengthen the trousers they sold and which kept ripping at the pockets. He noticed that the pockets of the miner´s pants ripped easily so he thought of using copper rivets at the stress points and made pants out of canvas, a sturdier and heavier material.
Levi Strauss era um alfaiate treinado que foi trabalhar em São Francisco. Ele vendia barracas e roupas de cama e mesa durante a corrida do ouro. Um de seus clientes, Jacob Davis, imaginou uma maneira de reforçar as calças que eles vendiam e que ficavam rasgando nos bolsos. Ele notou que os bolsos das calças dos mineiros rasgavam com facilidade então teve a idéia de usar rebites de cobre nos pontos de esforço e fez calças de lona, um material mais resistente e mais grosso..
WHY WAS IT INVENTED? / POR QUE FOI INVENTADA?
Levi tried to solve a problem that miners had. Their pants did not resist the heavy work especially at stress points like the pockets where they put their tools.
Levi tentou resolver um problema que os mineiros encontravam. Suas calças não resistiam ao trabalho pesado, especialmente nos pontos de esforço como os bolsos onde eles colocavam suas ferramentas.
