Description
Students create a quiz using catalogue images and text.
- Using the on-line historic catalogues, individually or as a group,
students
pick out five objects from one catalogue on the list below.
- Using the guidelines in Introduction to the
Resources,
print out the objects and their descriptions.
- Cut out the pictures of the objects and their descriptions and
separate them
into two piles.
- Post all of the objects on one side of a whiteboard. On the other
side, post
the descriptions.
- Challenge classmates to match the correct description to the correct
object.
You can also make this into a competition by creating teams that try to
match
the objects and descriptions in the shortest time.
You can do this activity with any of the catalogues from this site.
Some of
the earliest catalogues have the most unusual objects.
