Artifact Bag Activity
November 17, 2015
The artifact bag activity was very enjoyable and interesting. The project allowed for collaborative learning and allowed for the group members to work together in order to figure out what each artifact meant. The project allowed for us as a class to learn more about Dr. Smirnova as well as her home country of Russia. The activity was intriguing for the college class and would go over even better among elementary school students. This would work in a lesson in order for the students to get used to working with primary sources and feeling as if they are a part of history. As a model, the teacher can make artifact bags based on himself/herself in order for the students to practice and also get to know the teacher better.
I agree with your response to the artifact bag activity in that it is a great model to use for students to practice before possibly creating their own artifact bags. I think that this was also an engaging project because we all worked together as a group to analyze the artifacts and see how they are all connected. I will definitely be using it in my future classroom regarding primary sources also.
