III. Anticipatory Set
A. “Today, I have a box with items in it. I’m going to pull out each item individually and describe each one. After
all the items are out, talk with your partner and make an educated guess about how to categorize or connect
these items together.” Items to include: piano book, favorite chapter book, cell phone, picture of dorm life,
picture of my family, and item of food that I enjoy. Use the doc camera to show the items for people in the
back. “Some of you have guessed, but all of these items are objects that describe my life. Here, is a piano
book because I love playing the piano. This book is one of my favorite books to read. My cell phone is in here
because this is how I communicate with my friends and family when I need something. Some of you have
asked me what dorm life is like, so here is an example of the dorm that I live in with my roommate. Then, I
have a picture with my family and lastly, a food item that I love. These are items that represent my life, they
are evidence, or artifacts that tell you something about my life.”
IV. Purpose:
A. “Today we are going to talk about the Mayas, Incas, and Aztecs and the artifacts that they left behind for us
to find.”

PLAN FOR INSTRUCTION
A. Adaptation to Diverse Students—
a. Remediation: N/A
b. Enrichment: N/A
c. ELL: N/A
d. Exceptional Needs: Periods 2 and 4 have a paraprofessional in the classroom. They will be informed of
the activity and asked to help students during the activity. Students may need help with further

completing this activity without any accommodations, except for the help of a paraprofessional.

PLAN FOR ASSESSMENT
A. Formative: Under check for understanding, questions are listed that will be asked and the artifact they
create will be checked. When asking questions, I will be looking to see if students are understanding what
an artifact is and the importance of it. During the closure, students will write artifacts from their lives and
how the artifact they researched impacted modern day’s society. This assignment will show that the
students put work into finding research for their artifact.
