Dummies Guide to Visiting an Art Museum

Description:

Students, working in groups of 4, will create brochures about a local art museum. The brochures will be designed to educate students in the necessary behaviors expected and the critical thinking involved in a museum visit. Part of this project will be learning how to purchase items in the museum store. Not only does this address content standards at the grade level, but this unit will be delivered the first month of school as an introduction to collaborative learning and the project environment.
