Welcome Back!

I'm glad to see that everyone survived the time travel. Now that we are back in 2013 with our artifacts, we need to analyze them before they can be added to the museum's archives. For this purpose, I have asked some of your past colleagues to join us.

Around the room are 4 different stations with artifacts at each. At each station you will be asked to analyze the artifact in a variety of ways.

Station 1: Music
"Sugar Shack" by Jimmy Gilmer and The Fireballs (Lyrics)

Station 2: Film
The Birds Trailer and Poster

Station 3: Television
Bonanza Clip #1, Clip #2, and Title Sequence 

Station 4: Advertisements
Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and Chanel

Once you have made it through all 4 stations, I would like you to write instructions to help future pop culture experts find and analyze artifacts. Some questions you might consider answering are: What are types of artifacts should one look for? How does one determine whether an artifact is an example of pop culture? When analyzing an artifact, what elements should be considered? How does pop culture change over time?
