Student will begin sharing artifact on Friday but will have until next Friday to research and complete
ARTIFACT SHARE
Students should bring in an artifact belonging to their
family and share the history of the artifact using oral tradition. Please take special care when deciding what
you bring. Special arrangements should
be made if the artifact is very valuable, delicate or easily broken, or if it
presents a safety risk to the student and their classmates. The school will not be responsible for lost
or damaged items. If the artifact falls
into one of these categories students can have a parent, grandparent, or
guardian bring the artifact in or they can take a picture and bring it in. Any artifact that could be deemed as a weapon
or could hurt someone must have prior approval by Mr. Herlocker and Mr.
Heatherly and must be checked in through the office. The family story and a description of how and
why the artifact was used should be the key points covered in the students
presentation of the artifact. The real
goal of the project is for students to “connect” with previous generations and
find out how life has changed over the lifetime of their parents, grandparents,
and previous generations. Hopefully
history will come alive for the students and they will find out information and
stories that they did not know before.
The older the artifact the better, but the family story of who, what,
when, where, how, and why is the most important part. Any funny or amusing anecdotes about family
are encouraged. This is one of my
favorite projects because if the students complete it correctly they hopefully
gain an appreciation for history and their personal family story.
The artifact should be:
-at least 20 years old
-belong to a family member
or close family friend
-something that was once
very popular but now is not used or has been replaced or upgraded
Grading of artifact share:
50 points Presentation: This should include who, what, when, where,
how, and why:
-Story

-Age

-Family
stories behind and related to how it came into family, how family used it,

25 points Artifact that meets criteria above
