Artifacts, Intros and Ideology

Today we shared our artifacts and then wrote about the collection of items in our journals, responding to the following prompts:

1) Based on the collection of items, what conclusions can we make about the group of people that are represented by the objects that were brought in?  Work to reference specific objects in your conclusion.
2) If our collection represents "America", what is missing? Is there a category that is not represented, if so what is it? What object would you put there to represent that missing category?

During the 2nd part of class, we read Howard Zinn's American Ideology together. When finished, we found key quotes and worked to define his important and interesting contentions in our notebooks and through discussion.
