A Sample Worksheet for Exhibit Halls
This worksheet allows educators to select a theme and a specific exhibit or group of exhibits in which the theme might be explored. A theme from the classroom can be introduced, expanded, reconsidered or assessed through this activity.
Some teachers of upper grades have had success in making this a contest in which the group that finds the most exhibit connections (and explain them) wins a prize. Remember that asking new questions can be an appropriate part of searching for connections to a theme.
Variation:Instead of writing a list of connections on a worksheet, students use a digital (or disposable) camera to take pictures and record the connections they find. They can then write about or present their connections back at school.
