"Boss of the Plains" Making Generalizations

Dear Readers,


Today you will look at details from "Boss of the Plains" and then make a generalization about the process a person goes through to invent something.

1. What details can you find from the story that talk about the process of inventing something?
2. Using the details you located, what generalization can you make about what it takes for a person to invent something?

Remember to write in complete sentences, work the question into your answer, and spell most words correctly.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Springston

Dear Mrs .S and Mrs.T,

John Stetson wanted to make something unique.John wanted to succeed.John wanted a hat that almost everybody liked. John invented a hat and called it “Boss Of the Plains.” The generalization we can make about inventors is that they have to be smart and know technoligy and not make maistakes.

Dear Mrs. S. and Mrs. T,

The details we found about John inventing something are that he makes a hat that other people need and will notice. He was determined to succeed. I think that it takes a lot of effort and a lot of hard work because you have to spent money on supplies and animal furr. We also think that it takes a lot of thinking.

Dear Mrs. S and Mrs. T,

1) John was determined to succeed and wanted to make something unique.
2) The generalization we can make about inventors is that they need to like and be proud of what they are inventing. Most people who invent something have to have creativity.
