For the formative performance task, use the sources to answer the following questions:

• What are the important events in this person’s life? What emotions did this person experience throughout their life?

• What did this person invent? What other inventions have been done in this area?

• What do we know about the biases this person faced and how they responded? How did their responses compare to other people of their time?

• How much—if at all—did the person’s life change after their inventions? Did they receive credit for their invention? Did they profit from it?

• In what ways did this person address social issues of their day?
