Museum proposal

Page history last edited by Barbara A. Jansen 10 years, 7 months ago

]

The Austin Child Museum won a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services agency to create interactive exhibits for pre-literate children. Your group will create a proposal for a children's museum exhibit based on a self-selected topic from our Greek studies. Your group will propose an exhibit to the Board of Directors for Austin Child Museum to try to win part of the grant funding. Remember, the exhibits are for pre-literate, (i.e. preschool) kids. No words, all displays are visual and kinesthetic. While in reality it may be a stretch for very young children to grasp historical concepts, what can you propose to help them to do so?

 


 

 

Museum Board's objective: Deepening the understanding of ancient cultures for young children.

Define why the exhibit accomplishes that goal.

Exhibits must go deeper into a topic that was studied in class or you may choose a new topic. You may not simply rehash something we have studied.

How will children learn about the Greek topic?

How will the exhibit be interactive?

Why is this relevant to the museum's objectives, what are they trying to make the museum visitors understand?


 

Additional details: You are not developing a complete museum exhibit—you are proposing an exhibit in order to win funding. Your group will choose the presentation method for the proposal to the Board of Directors.

 

Your classmates will act as the Board of Directors and match your group’s presentation to the proposal Topic selection, audience, learning objectives, interactive components, visuals, and exhibit as detailed on the rubric. The “Board” will add constructive comments, then choose all of the exhibits that meet the Museum's objectives. Your teachers will also evaluate your presentation adding the last two categories on the rubric.

 

Presentations due on January 17. Presentations begin that day.


 

Group planning: Your group will use GoogleDocs to plan the exhibit, store the images you will use, and present an "Image Bibliography" for all images used. Use NoodleTools shared project to cite your image sources. Your teacher and Ms. Jansen will be added as writers to the GoogleDoc and shared NoodleTools project when we create the projects in class.


Audiovisuals--Copyright and Public Domain: Just like giving credit to the words and published ideas of others, we also grant attribution to images that we use, especially if our use of them is accessible by the public such as on a webpage, blog, or anywhere outside the physical classroom. Some images are in the public domain and do not require that we give credit such as those we create for our own use or those that are designated copyright-free or designated through Creative Commons. Some images that are very old (usually 70 years after the death of the creator) are in the public domain. Government documents and images are usually in the public domain, also.

 

Citing audiovisuals: You must cite all audiovisuals in an Audiovisual Bibliography to be handed in with your presentation.
