Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Show the class a suitcase full of a variety of items. Have students examine the items and try to discern the type of person that would have these. Were they sure about any items, did they need to make deductions about items and were there any that they could not identify? Where do they think they could find information to help in the identification process? End with relating their process to how historians and curators deal with historical evidence.
