This activity can be done in class, or as a homework assignment.
OPTION A - AT SCHOOL:
Imagine that you are making a museum exhibit of your classroom— something to show to others. Observe all the things in your classroom: furniture, school supplies, artwork, etc.
What items would you show to tell the story of your class? What might you add to the exhibit so that visitors might better understand the story? Written descriptions? A video? Other ideas?
Jot down your thoughts and/or discuss with a partner or as a whole class.
Now draw the exhibit.
We'd love to see your exhibits! therockprogram@calacademy.org
OPTION B - AT HOME:
Imagine that you are making a museum exhibit of a room in your home — something to show to others. Think about all the things in your room: furniture, your belongings, pictures, etc.
What items would you show to tell the story of YOU? What might you add to the exhibit so that visitors might better understand the story of you? Written descriptions? A video? Other ideas?
Jot down your thoughts and/or discuss with a classmate or family member.
Now draw the exhibit.
Imagina que tu casa es un museo, tu habitación (u otra habitación si lo prefieres), es la exposición principal, algo que mostrar a los demás. Piensa en todas las cosas en tu habitación, muebles, tus pertenencias, fotos, etc.
¿Qué artículos mostrarías para contar TU historia? ¿Qué podrías agregar a la exposición para que los visitantes puedan entender mejor la historia de ti ¿Descripciones escritas? ¿Un video? ¿Otras ideas?
Anota tus pensamientos y/o habla con un compañero de clase o familiar.
Ahora haz un dibujo de tu exposición.
