Hi, Folks - >My earlier post left off my signature file. The art teacher at my school >participated in an Asian studies class this year. The resulting project will be a >collection of cultural artifact boxes on Asian countries (China, Japan, Korea, >Vietnam) which will be housed in the media center. Each box will contain a >notebook with resources, lesson plans, maps, and reproductions that can be >examined and explored by students to expand their understanding and appreciation >of Asian life and culture. > >The artifacts will include coins, menus, newspapers, magazines, travel brochures, >music, videos, photos, cards, cookbooks, models, toys, etc. After discussing the >project with other teachers at our school, she has decided to expand the boxes to >other regions of the world as well. We will add boxes for Australia, Europe, South >America, Latin America, Mexico, and Africa. Our teachers are very excited about >this project. > >I am looking for informational resources with ideas for lessons and activities on >working with artifacts and primary sources. I would also appreciate tips, ideas, >and examples from those of you who have similar artifact collections in your media >centers. I will post a hit of responses. Thanks. > >Becky > -- Becky Palgi, Media Coordinator/NBCT McGee's Crossroads Middle School 13353 NC Highway 210 Benson, NC 27504 Phone: 919-894-6003 Fax: 919-894-6007 Personal Email - rdpalgi@mindspring.com School Email - beckypalgi@johnston.k12.nc.us -------------------- "Honor the past, and create the future." - Michael Gorman, "New Laws of Librarianship" (American Libraries, Sept. 1995) -------------------- "In the nonstop tsunami of global information, librarians provide us with floaties and teach us how to swim." - Linton Weeks (Washington Post article, 13 January 2001, p.
