    The document discusses two strategies for teaching social studies: (#4) Using Authentic Models and (#18) Systematic Artifact Investigation. Both strategies build personal experiences for students through hands-on learning, but differ in their approach. Using Authentic Models involves students mocking or role-playing historical experiences, while Systematic Artifact Investigation has students study and analyze past or present artifacts. The author believes modifying the strategies to incorporate both past and present examples would make them more effective. They think Systematic Artifact Investigation best appeals to different learning styles and is their favorite strategy.

    Amy Branstetter EDEL453-Spring2013 Professor Powell 1. Which strategies did you choose?

    Please provide the name and number for each. I think (#4) Using Authentic Models (p. 23-30) and (#18) Systematic Artifact Investigation (p. 131-136) are both essential strategies to incorporate into social studies. 2. How are the strategies you chose similar? Both strategies build personal experiences for students. Both incorporate authentic learning through hands-on, physical interaction by either mocking an experience or holding an artifact(s) investigation. Both strategies involve requiring a sense of investigative and analytical inquiry by students of past artifacts. 3. How are the strategies different? The Authentic Model strategy mocks the physical actions of social science research. In the book, authors Melber & Hunter (2010) provided the example of an archeological excavation for students as Using Authentic Models. Other Examples include mock trials, living history experiences, or exploration of artifact replicas. (Melber & Hunter, 2010, p. 23) The Systematic Artifact Investigation requires students to take part in study through artifacts of the belief-values, ideas, attitudes, and assumptions-of particular community or society at a given time (cited Melber & Hunter, 2010, p. 131-132). Here students study past and present artifacts or objects, which were referred to as the center of material culture (Melber et. al., 2010, p. 132). 4. How might you modify the strategies to make them work better for you? I think that Using Authentic Models could focus on present works and research as well. The same should apply to the study of artifacts, there should be both past and present artifacts and many readily available for students to investigate.

    5. Which learning styles do you think these strategies would appeal to the most? I think for most students, using the Authentic Models would be highly motivating. You are mocking the physical action (kinesthetic) of social science research specifically. Looking at cool artifacts is fun, but finding them or creating replicas would probably be more fun to most students.

    6.

    Which strategy is your favorite and why? I really like both, but my favorite would be the Systematic Artifact Investigation. Because of my background with students with disabilities and ESL/ELL students, I would favor this visual connection for them. Why? Because its easily accessible, I could bring an artifact a day or have a multitude of artifacts that could serve as an authentic picture for students. Its simple.
