Artifact Interview

With a partner, you are going to interview an artifact from the Western Expansion, your artifact must reside in a museum and be appropriate for school, no guns, tobacco or weapons. Each member of the team will have a roll, one as the interviewer and one as the artifact being interviewed. You must discuss what it was like to live during the time of Western Expansion, through the eyes of the artifact. Artifacts give us a glimpse into the past and the lives of those involved. You will need to do some research, and document the keywords you used to find your artifact and its life and roll during Western Expansion in the United States.You will need to have a picture of this artifact saved into dropbox. The interview will need to be able to answer the 5 W's:

• Who did it belong to,
• what is the artifact and its role in the Western Expansion,
• when was it used,
• where was it found/used/stored,
• how did it end up in a museum

You will need to turn you research notes and interview dialogue on a MS Word document with the file name: WE Notes (Team Member Names).

After you have researched your chosen artifact and written out your interview you will record your interview in GarageBand.

You will need to start a new Podcast to conduct your interview.

Your GarageBand File will be saved within GarageBand on your computer with the name WE Interview (team member names).
