Webquest and Telecommunications

Here's what I'm thinking for my webquest....Smithsonian is planning an American Indian exhibit at the museum of American History and has put a call out to all interested parties to submit a time capsule of what they believe should be included to represent the 3 groups they are exhibiting. So the kids will have to come up with 3-4 artifacts for each group and write a letter presenting their time capsule.

For my telecommunications lesson, I'm thinking of a Virtual Field Trip...just not sure where or with which grade level that I want work.

  1. I like your time capsule idea! What kinds of artifacts do you expect them to find/create?

  3. Right! I had the same questions about the artifacts....what about you have the artifacts (wampum belt, etc) and the group needs to think of a creative way to inform the people that open the capsule about it. They could write a story, poem, make a video, make an Inspiration web, etc.
