The document summarizes artifacts created by students to represent different aspects of the culture of an ancient group called the Pomegranates. The artifacts include a scroll depicting art, a map showing geographic settings, drawings of government hierarchies, a symbol of a pomegranate, a currency piece, clothing, a discipline tool, a religious artifact called a yad, a communication sign, and a mural bringing all the cultural elements together. The artifacts were made using materials like paper, cardboard, fabric, and paint to teach about the Pomegranates' way of life, and what the original artifacts may have looked like.

1. The Pomegranates
By: Aaron Greenstein, Hannah
Castrogiovanni, Tali Edson and Zander
Gillett

2. Art, Music and Leisure Time
This is a scroll that we Pomegranates used as art. I made it by taking a piece of
paper, a pipe cleaner and watercolors to make the picture part. I painted with
the fuzzy part of the pipe cleaner. Then I glued the wet piece of scroll to another
thick piece of paper and rolled it up. Since it was wet, I dried it in scroll
formation, making it look older. This teaches people the beauty of art. In real life,
it would have been made with papyrus and animal hair for the brush. The paint
would have been from natural resources like plants and animals.

3. Geographic Setting
This map represents geographic setting. It was used by a girl named Rivka when
she was wandering in the desert to help her and her culture find their way to Mt.
Hermon. I made it by drawing it, dipping it in tea and burning it. It teaches that
we walked along the path the line shows and settled in Mt. Hermon. It would
have been made by drawing it.

4. Government and Politics
This drawing represents government
and politics. It shows the chiefs of
10s, 50s, 100s, and 1000s to rule over
different groups. It teaches that our
culture had kings that ruled over
different amounts of our land. I made
it the same way as the map.

5. Themes and Symbols
This is a pomegranate. It is the symbol of our group. We made it by cutting out a
pomegranate in cardboard and coloring it. It teaches we want to remember our history and
we put things from our past in everyday life. It would be a real pomegranate in real life.

6. Economics
This is a shekel. I made it
by cutting a circle in cardboard
drawing on it. It teaches that
our culture values trade and we
have stores. In real life it would
be metal.

7. Food, Clothing and Shelter
This is the corner of a person’s clothing.
I made it with fabric and a tzitzit from
HaMorah Nance. This teaches that the
Pomegranates had tassels on the four
corners of their clothes. It would have
been made of linen in real life – like it is
here.

8. Family and Kin
This is a whip used to punish children who
did not behave. I made it by making rolls of
paper, flattening the rolls and weaving them
together, then securing them with lots of
tape. It teaches that our culture values
discipline and being responsible. In real life
this would have been made out of leather
and strong fabrics.

9. Religion
This is a yad. We used it to read
Torah, because it is very important to
us. I made it by wrapping string
around a stick. It teaches we study
Torah. It probably would have been
made out of wool or linen wrapped
around metal or wood.

10. Communication
This is a sign that the Pomegranates used
to communicate with others. It is made
from cardboard and markers. This teaches
people the value of various things for
trade – like a $5.00 bill is worth five $1.00
bills. It would have been made from
wood and had real money on it.

11. Mural
This is our mural.
It shows all the universals of our culture
This is our mural. It shows all the universals of our culture.
