Lets look at the possibilities.
You are to become a time-traveler. Your goal is to find information about life around 1900 and using ClarisWorks to create a product demonstrating your understanding of the similarities and differences between 1900 and 2000. Some examples might be a Venn Diagram, a chart, a creative writing product, or a collage. Don't limit yourself to these questions. Be creative and try to produce that quality and unique product.
