right0All About Me Artifact Bag00All About Me Artifact Bag Directions: You will be participating in an activity that requires prior planning.? On Wednesday, September 9th, you will need to bring an artifact bag with you.? What is an artifact bag you ask? It is a plain bag “paper or plastic?” without any distinguishing markings that holds between 5 to 10 artifacts/sources.? The artifacts you choose should help a student answer the following big questions: Who is this person? What is their life like? What can I learn about them as an individual - academically and personally? So include artifacts that reveal something about you, who you are, your history and culture, likes, character traits, etc…? Your task on Wednesday will be to look at someone else's artifact bag and answer the big questions.a. Here are some examples of artifacts. (This is not a complete list - creativity is desirable)i. favorite quote(s), song(s), sports team, holiday location, hobbies, book, clothing, pets- just a photo please -, colorii. location of where you live- or grew upiii. academic interestsiv. examples of academic workPlease don't include any names or current pictures of yourself.? Don't give the game away.center-93345All About Me BrochureAll About Me BrochureThe second phase to the project will be to use the artifacts collected in your bag to create an “All About Me” brochure (30 project pts). In the brochure you will include pictures of 5 of the most important artifacts related to you. In addition, you will write a thoughtful summary of 5-8 sentences about each artifact to tell me more about you! Finally, you will include a family summary and fun facts about yourself (things you couldn’t fit in the brochure). Have fun! You may use any program which has brochure templates to create your brochure. I like Microsoft Word or Apple Pages to create mine, but others like Publisher to create their brochure. This is a model of what it would look like:You may find this template on my website, so you may edit it.Side 1Side 2-409575-57151All About Me Class Activity00All About Me Class ActivityAnalyze items from artifact bag(s) and complete the chart below for at least two people.
