One museum room may end up containing something that another room also contains. If this occurs it should not be viewed as a problem, but rather as an opportunity to discuss the interrelatedness of things. Students cut items from catalogs to use on their posters. Each group member chooses at least three artifacts from his or her group's collection. Students then work at their desks writing out the requirements for each artifact, as outlined in the handout.
Students complete their written material for at least three artifacts by the end of the hour.
This material must be handed in. Students who complete their written material before the end of the hour begin work on rough drafts of their three drawings. At the end of this hour students hand in rough drafts of written material. At the end of Hour 6 students hand in rough drafts of drawings. These things must be checked and handed back to students at the beginning of Hour 7.
