Artifact # 2
Culture Kit
This project was done based on the country of Ghana in Africa. The culture kit contains different artifacts that represent the country's culture, land, and people. The picture of this project was taken with a digital camera and edited in Adobe Photoshop.
B. Context
This item was created in my CI 3110 class, social studies in the elementary
school. This class was part of senior block during the spring semester
of 2002.
C. Impact
This will be a valuable lesson to use in the classroom. It will
allow students to do research on different cultures and present their information
in a creative way. Research of the country can be done using the
World Wide Web. I will have the students document their culture kits
with a digital photo. Some of the materials they use in their culture
kit might be items that are needed. By taking a picture of their
kit, the students will have a picture to show the contents.
D. Alignment
This assignment meets the needs of diverse learners. This lesson
incorporates a variety of different learning styles. It is a hands
on activity that involves the use of books, art supplies, the World Wide
Web, and a digital camera.

among different places and cultures.
