Students use both independent and cooperative research to develop background knowledge for creating artifacts, reports, and presentation skills for their museum. Visitors to the museum enjoy playing word games created by students . Students created a model of a market place in South Africa.
Docents describe characteristics of the market place to visitors.
The art teachers work closely with classroom teachers to collaborate on special projects for the museum. Students created an interactive computer program which allowed museum visitors to see and hear words in different languages. Museum visitors were invited to add their thoughts and ideas to the student-created program. Guests added text and voice to the document as student docents demonstrated how to use HyperStudio software. The music teachers, along with student volunteers, write the script for a musical trip around the world.
