(describing function, appearance, design, size, shape, color, weight, smell.) Who uses or owns me? When was I made? Who made me? How was I created? Why was I created? Activity 2: After the research and the narrative are complete, have each student create a model of the object they chose. Use collected materials, card board, paper, string, popsicle sticks, etc. Students may present their findings to the class.
