Overview Students will work cooperatively to investigate a variety of artifacts from another country and formulate hypotheses about its' culture based on these artifacts. An artifact is one source of information about the life style of a world community.
Artifacts reveal specific ways the needs of a world culture are met.
Artifacts can be used as a tool for comparing and contrasting different cultures. Students will demonstrate attainment of a positive self-concept and empathy toward others in order to improve interaction among individuals and groups in our democratic society. Use print and non-print sources of information such as pictures, graphics, maps, globes and artifacts to gain information. Interact with others in groups to achieve common goals. Recognize that people everywhere have similar social needs, motivations, and desires but may express them differently.
