Artefact chat: Foundation

This sequence of activities establishes the concepts of artefacts, and oral history through prior knowledge and experience, personal interests and the familiar. Students then generalise about what an artefact is and practise how to describe an artefact and think creatively about it. Students also learn about interview grammar, as well as gesture and expression prior to applying those skills to developing interview questions. The resource also teaches the purpose of an interview, when interviews are used, and why it is important to document the past.
