Artifact: My First Artifacts

My artifact is a necklace and it’s so unique and important to me because it has my name on it. And it’s so beautiful, in the middle there is my name with Arabic letters it’s so old so I don’t wear it any more but it still my favorite on of all. I allow keep it in a small box in my bed room near to me so that nobody will play or touch it. I get it when I was 11 years old from a special people in a special event. It from my family they give it to me as a present when I pass my sixth grad, I was so happy that day and until now every time I look at it I remember how hard I worked to pass that school year. It also my first necklace in my life I keep it until now because I love my family. When I feel upset or depressed I tack it out and keep

The artifact I chose is the Nathan Bedford Forrest Statue in Memphis, Tennessee because surrounding this statue and its history evolved infinite controversial issues and uproars even until the present day.

Artifact 1: Brainstorm topics; this artifact is a list composed of ten main terms with two subterms residing to each. Brainstorming is a method that always for the flow of creativity. Therefore, paving the way for new ideas. However, prior to this artifact, I rarely used brainstorming as a method in the composition of my pieces. Throughout my writing career, I based my essay topics around the first thought that would come to mind. However, this artifact presented the notion that, first ideas are not always the best. From my list of terms, I was able to choose an essay topic that I was truly passionate about. The subject that I chose to write on, was not the first idea that came to my mind while brainstorming. It had actually taken seven tries in order for me to find the right one .

While writing Artifact #1 I learned that the teaching profession is one for the strong not the weak. I love being an educator it teaches you so many things about your philosophy of life. The teaching profession is constantly changing and so are schools. It’s true what they say about teachers you really have to be flexible. Teachers are losing their passion about teaching all because of excessive testing. I feel as an educator my voice has the right to be heard. Students need teachers who can challenge then, help them learn about not only educational things but life.

Artifact: An object made by a human being, typically an item of cultural or historical interest. When I began to work on this paper it took a lot for me to think of something that held a special place in my heart to bring to class, but upon many hours of racking my brain I found one item that provides me more comfort than any material thing in my house, The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe. In my speech class my teacher assigned a project to recite a piece of literature and through another session of searching high and low I found my love for Edgar Allen Poe through the poem of For Annie. The depth and contrast of his words depicting his dedication to one person no matter what the outside world thought absolutely astounded me. Growing

From my personal interaction with females, most women are not concerned with male dominance. In most of the world from my understanding, the majority of females grew up taught that the men are the head of the household or more dominant. Why oppose the dominincy of a male? In the picture below, the male is exibiting his dominance in a sensual manner that is normalized. The female in the image is not showing any sort of discomfort though it would be different if the male was expressing violence. That is why I feel there is nothing wrong with the way the image is portrayed. Moreover, males have biological factors that occur naturally that can please women, such as aggressiveness or muscles, and etc. As a woman, I feel

My artifact is my Baptismal gown that I wore when I was months. The gown is about two and a half feet long and is a creamy white color. It is made of both silk and lace. There are two white ribbons hanging from the back that tie into a bow. The collar has an embroidered pattern and the waistline has five flowers made of white lace. The dress has long sleeves that have cuffs with one button on each arm. A strip of lace that is two and a half inches wide wraps around the middle of the skirt part of the dress. The hem is also made of white lace.

Trying to find stolen and missing works of art and documents is very difficult for authorities. If they think they found it then they have to go through many processes to decide whether it is a replica or the real piece of art or document. Once the artifacts are stolen some are put into secret museums for others to pay not knowing the artifact is the real or not. In the first passage it says, "The hallway in the Brooklyn warehouse was dark, the space cramped... I was staring at one of most sought-after stolen masterpiece...or was I?" The person was a reporter who like many couldn’t decide whether it is real or not.

This artifact is a slideshow talking about the dangers the internet can have. I created my slideshow using Prezi. First, I chose a template that I felt was suitable for this artifact. I was able to type in the boxes they provide and add Google pictures. There are ten different sides in this artifact. I will use this artifact in my career, cyber dangers are a problem, and I want parents and students to be aware of those dangers. In this artifact I fulfill standard four by teaching the safe, legal and ethical use of digital information and technology.

A rising controversy that is gripping the nation is whether or not artifacts should be removed from their original countries or sights. After looking at all of the evidence, it is clear that these relics should be taken away. While some might argue that these objects should stay at their homes because removing them would disrespect history, there is too big a price to pay for leaving the artifacts where they are. Important relics should be taken from historic sites so they can be shared with everyone, and so they aren’t destroyed and lost forever.

This artifact is made up of a PowerPoint that I would use in my classroom on the first day of school to introduce myself and provide the students in my classroom with a clear idea of my expectation for the school year. There is also a letter to the parents of my future students included in this artifact. Both of these documents demonstrate the planning I will used as a teacher to make sure the beginning of my school year is successful and I have to opportunity to build rapport with all parents and students in my classroom. This artifact would fit under standard #7: planning for instruction, since it demonstrates how I plan to teach my future students about myself and the expectations I uphold. This artifact is a representation of my best

The object I discovered is a small metal object with a decorative shape. It has some sort of metal spring inside and is composed of two metal sections in similar size and shape connected by a hinge, with a screw connected to the bottom of one piece. I can assume that this object was most likely used for holding a thin object using the spring to keep it in place. The screw, however, might have been inserted into a holder of some sort in order to keep both the object being held and the holder in place.

To create my Artifact, I utilized PowerPoint as it is straightforward to create, manipulate and mold images and text together. The features allowed me to accurately position different items. This worked when dragging pictures and words around. While moving text and images, it indicated when I properly aligned my features. This allowed for proper spacing and the Artifact to be aesthetically pleasing. It also featured word art, which I used often. Lastly, I used Burner Bonanza to removed backgrounds. This worked when I uploaded a picture file and defined a background. Then, a transparent background PNG picture was output.

The artifact that I chose was earbuds. I chose earbuds because they are an important piece of my life. Without this object, I would not be able to understand and listen to music like i do. Earbuds help me understand music better and surround me in the music. Earbuds drown me out from the sounds of evil. They allow me to choose what to listen to and what to block out. The earbuds help me concentrate while i’m listening to music.

The major challenges that faced in Artifact #2 were the objectives. Many of my students wanted to work in my small group but I didn’t have enough items in mystery bag for them to explore. The first major objective is for the students to use their senses to indentify the object. The second challenge that I faced was my students using their verbal skills to identify the object. Many of my toddlers have words but not all of them have that many. I noticed that several of my students named things that were similar but not the same for example one child told me the butterfly was a
