Extraordinary Exhibits?

The day is focused on creating extraordinary exhibits that will teach our guests all about endangered species.

As students and I meet for our research project focus lesson this morning, I'll ask the following questions:
  • What should we do to make sure that our exhibits entertain, inform, and impact visitors?
  • Specifically:
    • What should the bulletin boards include?
    • What kinds of signs should we make?
    • If we make dioramas, what part of the animal's life do you want to display?
    • Where will you leave room for the computer so you may show your visitors your Google presentation?
    • How will you share the crossword puzzles and word finds?
  • How can I help you?  What do you need?
Once we finish the meeting, then students will have a couple of hours to create, revise, and finesse their displays.  I'll work as coach throughout the endeavor.  Hence, it's a sneakers and jeans creativity day.
