Part One: Choose Your Artifact

 

What one item would be the most impactful trace or piece of evidence from your life?  If this one item was left behind, a historian could use it to understand who you were.

 

Look around your house, your room, your locker…..who are you?  Pick one item/artifact that you deem to be historically significant.  Take a picture of it to share.  Describe in words what it is and its connection to who you are.

Part 2: Consolidate

Write a paragraph by completing the statement. "My artifact is important because...".  Be specific in explaining WHY it is important to you, but also what it tells us about people, events or issues from that time (if possible).

The narrator of the account in document 2 explains,

“Their dogs are enormous, with flat ear, and long, dangling tongues. The color of their eyes in is burning yellow; their eyes flash fire and shoot off sparks.”

Which statement below best explains the historical significance of that description?

◯ A. This passage helps historians understand the implications of both the biological and technological exchange that occurred at the time the Spaniards arrived in America.

◯ B. This passage reveals how the native Americans looked down on the Spanish as weak and soft, because they seemed lazy and lacked physical fitness.

◯ C. The natives could relate to the newcomers, due to the similarity of their animals, which shows the universality of the human experience.

◯ D. This passage provides proof that the indigenous people of what is now Mexico were much shorter than Euoropeans of that time.
