Artifacts Passage

Students continue practicing descriptive writing through longer artifact passages, such as “The Explorer’s Compass” and “Victorian-Era Teacup.” They are instructed to analyze each passage and then write their own interpretation using vivid vocabulary and inferred details. This task helps learners move beyond surface description to infer history, purpose, and craftsmanship while applying figurative language and imagery.
