Artifact Reading

MG-7 Chart
One physical card per child + a wall-sized version of the same card. Used in lessons 4-6, 16, 18 on every artifact-readi

One physical card per child + a wall-sized version of the same card. Used in lessons 4-6, 16, 18 on every artifact-reading task. Children fill in the card on a printed worksheet OR write directly on a laminated card with dry-erase. The six-box layout is INTENTIONAL - it extends the G3-Fall four-question routine with TWO new questions specific to material culture (MATERIAL + OWN-VOICE CHECK). Box 6 is the unit's most distinctive pedagogical move - it requires children to check whether the description is from inside or outside the culture.

Prompt
