The students will be working on their Family Heirloom Project this week. Students will be doing the research for this project as homework: choose a family heirloom or artifact, ask relatives about the object, its purpose/function, how it came to be in the family, why it was passed on trough the generations, its significance.
The students will be getting the Family Heirloom Cataloguing Data worksheet on Tuesday. Use this as a guide to the type of information they should research and gather for the item they have chosen to study.
Some guiding questions: What is it?- Define its shape, size and color.- Condition (rusty, broken, bent, decayed)?- Of what is iti made?- When was it made?- Where was it made?- How was it made?- Who used it? For what was it used? What special attributes does it have?- Is there an oral or written history? Other facts you know about this object.- Who are your sources of information.
This project will be due on Wednesday, November 2nd
