Although designed for the Canadian War Museum, the concept here is a solid one. Class members select an artifact from the First World War, examine it, research it, and craft an explanative label that they attach to their picture and post in a classroom gallery. The instructor first models the process and then individuals select an artifact and begin their research. After sharing with a partner, participants revise their work and finalize their writings. The twist is that individuals share their partner's artifact with the class. Expectations for the format and content are detailed and worksheets are included in the packet.
