Example 1

Ice Carrier 1800-1900 By: Alison and Sam

I found this in the fish-packing place by the pier.

This is used to carry big blocks of ice from place to place.

This is found in fish packing places, and the homes of Ice carvers.

Ice carvers use it for packing up ice and the early people used it to keep their food cold.

 

This could be…

A shoe sizer

A tool for gardening

A hat size measurer
