1923 Garret Morgan patents his version of the traffic signal
6-B discussed what it means to be an inventor. Once we had defined the term we learned about Garret Morgan. Mr. Morgan invented the automatic stop sign, which we now refer to as a traffic light. We discussed what might happen in the world today if we did not have this important safety measure? We reviewed the colors displayed by a traffic light, the meanings each color conveys, and what actions we take when we see each color. We also discussed the proper placement of each color in regards to the top, middle, and bottom positions. After completing a page on Garret Morgan for our portfolios we engaged in an exciting kinesthetic experience: "Red Light, Green Light". This fun game was known by many members of our class. We loved learning outside on such a gorgeous day. See us in action below.
