  1. US History Exposition 2013

  2. Museum • As a class, we will be creating a museum for students, teachers, administrations, and parents can walk through during the school day • What is a museum or exposition? • Each group will have a booth or station dedicated to gathering and displaying objects and information of lasting interest or value

  3. Exposition • In groups of three – four, you will be creating your own booth/station that explores a time period that we’ve learned about in US History this year • You will gather information, objects, and primary and secondary sources about your era • You will create an interactive booth that you will present to teachers, students, administration, and community members on May 23rd (B day) and May 24th (A day)

  5. Grade • This is a project/test grade and you will be graded on the following criteria: • Participation • Research • Display • Viewer Contest

  6. Day 1 & 2 • Today, our objective is to choose our group, our theme, and start investigating your time period. • Your names will be drawn to determine which group will choose their time period first. • Be sure to write down your era • Once you have chosen your era, you’ll start right away to investigate and research • By the end of Day 1, you must complete the research handout.

  7. Reliable Websites • It is essential when presenting your decade that you are gathering the correct information from reliable sources and preparing yourself thoroughly enough so that you become the expert ready to share your excitement about what you know, and here’s how! These websites are available under End of Year on my webpage. • http://www.yearborn.net/The_Year_You_Were_Born_Main/Home.html • http://www.archives.gov/ • http://www.pbs.org/ • http://americanrhetoric.com/ • http://teacheroz.com/ • http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/ • http://kclibrary.lonestar.edu/decades.html • http://americasbesthistory.com/abhtimeline1940.html • http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/yearsanddecades.html

  8. Get Going! • Now that theme has been selected, your team needs to create a catchy slogan or title that represents your era. Like at any expo, the idea is to draw as many spectators to your booth, and share your experiences with them. • On your display board you need to provide images (minimum of 5 ) for each section your researching, using a variety of primary and secondary sources. You must share the information about your decade, not just play games, and eat food. Remember they are voting for you! • Fill in the entire board with details that will help you in presenting your decade and font size needs to be large enough for both you and the spectators to see.

  9. Day 3 • Our objective for the day is to create a timeline that will be displayed at your booth • Each timeline must include at least 25 important dates or events that happened during your era • Each timeline must also include at least 20 photographs of the different events during your era • This should be organized, grammatically correct, and be your original work • HOMEWORK: for next class you must print in a poster board for display at your booth

  10. Day 4 & 5 • Our objective for today is to complete your display board that will become the center piece of your booth. • Use your background research, timeline, textbooks, and other outside resources to create your poster • You’ll be graded on creativity, organization, grammar, and historical accuracy. • By the end of the day you must turn in your completed poster

  13. Day 6 • Our goal for today is to complete a “brochure” to hand out to expo. visitors on the day of the exposition and also create an invitation for your parents to attend • Your brochure should include everything that is on your poster in a concise and creative way • This is something guests will take with them so it should be something you’re proud of • You must submit to me (electronically) by the end of the class period
