2.2 Reading Projects

Choice 1: Artifact Box (Real or Virtual)

Create an artifact box that reflects your personal and/or cultural identity.

Create an artifact box (real or virtual using images in a slide show, brochure, or document) that contains at least five objects (at least 1 per person).  Each object must:

  • be relevant to your personal or cultural identity
  • be representative of something of importance.

Each object must be accompanied by a written explanation (on index cards, a mini-scrapbook, or if on a computer document, a title and caption) clearly explaining why it is an appropriate choice.

Ideas for how to frame text:

This _____ represents _____. It is important because ______. My personal/cultural identity is evident in this choice because _________. There are several reasons it is meaningful: ____, _____, and _____. 

The objects may be packaged in a container and shown/delivered to your teacher or can be a digital presentation (ie. power point, word, prezi, other).
