I really enjoyed the activity using the artifact bags. Dr. Smirnova had brought in many facts that she had shared with all of us students. She had brought in many different artifacts like her birth certificate from Russia, a porcelain napkin holder that had a great story along with it, and many other essential artifacts. All students then had to bring in their own artifacts that had to do with their unit plan topic. My topic had to do with banking and savings. I included my own piggy bank to show saving money. I also included cash, and a checkbook. This helps show students the different things that go along with banking and savings.
I thought this kind of activity is essential for young learners because it gives them a chance to learn a specific topic while seeing actual artifacts from people. This helps make learning fun for them in my opinion. Artifact Bags are definitely more essential in teaching social studies or history courses because you can bring in things from relatives or your own belongings that deal with a specific topic.
