1. (Online) Post a description or photo of this object and its unfamiliar history on your class’s online discussion board. Describe the item and where it was made. What kind of impact does the item have on your life? What about the people who made it? As you read through your classmates’ posts about objects from their own lives, think about the global impact on our day-to-day lives. To get the conversation started, find at least one object posted by a classmate and ask a question about the object’s history. Be sure to respond also to any questions posed about your own object.
