think it is using Zeisel's categories listed above, and a specific description of what it is (e.g., trampled grass,
empty beer cans, etc). When you have found and photographed 25 traces, return to the classroom.
The Group's Assignment
Each group must look through its photographs and select the five best examples of physical traces in terms of
creativity and picture quality. One person from each group shall be appointed to present and explain these
photos to the rest of the class, describing what the picture shows and what type of physical trace it illustrates.
Your group will then prepare a brief report in which the 25 traces that you photographed are catalogued and
described; you will also include the photos of your 5 best traces with this report.
Grading
All members of your group will receive the same grade on this assignment, and all aspects of the project will
be taken into consideration. Some of the criteria will be as follows:
1. How clear and creative were your photographs? How many different kinds of traces
did you find? It is more desirable to have photographs depicting 8 or 10 different types
of physical traces than it will be to have 25 pictures of the same 2 or 3 types of traces.
2. How clear was the oral presentation to the class of what your group found?
3. How thorough, clear, and well-organized was the written summary of your traces?
