Level of Familiarity: I am very familiar with this word. It is often used in social studies classrooms
Do I Want to Know This Word Well and Why? This is a very important word for me to be familiar with as a history teacher. Much of what we know about ancient history has been determined through scrupulous study of artifacts.
Do I Think Others Should Know This Word Well..if so Who and Why? I would recommend that you become more familiar with this word. Artifacts have played a large role in what we know about ancient civilizations which has shaped the world we live in today. Artifacts can also refer to student/teacher generated work which is useful to know as educators.
