Make critical and creative thinkers out of your class, with an archeology-based project they'll love. They start the activity by first researching what archeologists do, then they generate a list of the qualities archeologists need to be successful. In small groups, they research an ancient time or place and choose five artifacts from the chosen era and determine how they could use context clues to determine the artifacts' purpose and age. Each group writes a play depicting archeologists at work in the field and in the lab.
