•
Students look at the photographs on pages 66 and 67.
Play the
Yes/No game
(see page xvii) about one of the
objects. Students ask, e.g.,
Is it a tool? Is it made of clay?
Is it small?
Student’s Book page 67
6 Find out about a primary source that tells us
about life in the past. Make an information sheet
about it.
•
Elicit the names of museums in your students’ country,
especially those with an archaeological collection.
•
Point to the project in the Student’s Book and say
This
project uses an old photograph as a primary source. What
can you see in the photograph? Do you think it’s a tool?
Is it jewelry?
Students look at the project to find out (
It’s a
game
). Read the instructions for the activity. Tell students
that they should try to choose an object that fits one of
the categories from the previous lesson (i.e., a tool, a
piece of jewelry/clothing, a statue, or a toy/game).
•
Divide students into pairs or groups and allow them
to work with books or class computers to choose and
research an object. They can use the website of a
museum that has an online catalog of objects (such as
the British Museum in the U.K.) and write notes in English
about the primary source.
•
Students then work together to write a description of
their object. Make sure they don’t try to translate or copy
the museum’s information word for word. If students
have access to class computers, they can produce this on
the computer, copying and pasting a photograph of their
object and labeling it with a text box.
•
If students aren’t using computers, they draw, cut
out, and stick their picture onto paper and write the
information about it.
•
Students present their object to the class. This can be
done using their digital file on the interactive whiteboard
or by presenting their work on paper to the class.
•
The completed projects can then be displayed in the
classroom or kept in digital folders.
