Driving Question:
How can you design a museum artifact that would fit into a larger Egyptian exhibit that conveys your learning about one specific topic? (categories: agriculture, geography, economics, political, religious, scientific, technological, intellectual, artistic)
Project Description:
Sixth grade ELA and Social Studies with the librarian collaborated together for students to research, write, and design an “ancient artifact” to present in an authentic museum style.
Final Product(s):
Students created an “ancient artifact” and a museum display that included an expository paragraph, image with a central idea statement, and research article summary.

Potential Community Outreach:
See comment below.
Teacher Reflection:
Our recommendations would be to take time to reach out to a local expert who works in a museum to speak to students and to possibly arrange for the students to present there.
