Cultural repatriation is the act of returning cultural objects to their country of origin. In this project, students worked in teams to debate if the Elgin Marbles, which made up the Parthenon in Athens, or the bust of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti should be returned to their country of origins.<\/p>\n<p>To form strong arguments for the debate, everyone spent time researching information on their objects. This was done by reading books in the Tate Library and using the Tate\u2019s electronic databases as well as the Internet. We made a Chicago-style bibliography to record the numerous sources we used. During the debate, students who weren\u2019t going to debate that day acted as the jury. When the debate ended the jurors discussed the case before coming to a consensus of the winner.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2279\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2279\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fieldstonnews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/debate-pic-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2279 \" alt=\"debate pic 1\" src=\"https:\/\/fieldstonnews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/debate-pic-1-300x232.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fieldstonnews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/debate-pic-1-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fieldstonnews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/debate-pic-1-1024x792.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2279\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Miranda S., Maya P., Dahlia G.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During the project, I enjoyed debating that the Elgin Marbles should stay in the British Museum in London, England.
