Artifact Bag

This week in class we learned about artifact bags. First, Dr. Smirnova explained this activity by giving us her artifact bags. My group got a bag that had a Russian nesting doll, a gzhel potter dish, and Dr. Smirnova's International Teachers Training Academy of Science.








Then, we did our bags based off of our unit plans during fieldwork. In my bag I had 3 artifacts.

Artifact #1 - The seal of the house of Representatives. This represents the United States Congress. Congress was split into two different parties, this is known as the Great Compromise.
Artifact #2 - The seal of the United States Senate. This represents the second party that was made in the Great Compromise. 

Artifact #3 - The Bill of Rights. This represents the Constitution. Without the Bill of Rights, many states wouldn’t have ratified the Constitution.

My group presented with group 3. They had artifacts from the industrial revolution and women's rights. I really liked and enjoyed this activity!
