Artifact activity
Reflection:
As a teacher, it was really fun preparing an artifact activity relates to life in New Spain. I was able to use my creativity when I was create the artifacts. It is kind of hard to find the actual artifacts from the history so I had to create an old map, painting, and statue. When I gave my classmates my artifact bag, they were able to guess how the artifacts relate to the content. They were able to figure out that the map represents plantations, houses, and missionaries. Thy were also able to figure out who was the person from the statue and social classes from the painting. When I am actually teaching this lesson to the students, I will provide the students enough time to do some research using a computer or iPad. Instead of I am giving all the information, the students will explain what it is and why it is important (with a visual presentation; posters, ppts, and etc). I will borrow the idea of Marie, the scientific methods too.
