At the Museum
Gather the students so that they can see and hear the demonstrator
and take notes.
Tell students to take careful and detailed notes and be as actively involved
in the demonstration as possible. Suggest that they make sketches or diagrams,
label the parts of objects, and write down unfamiliar terms that they can
ask the demonstrator to define. If you have prepared a handout, give it
to the students in the museum.
Watch the time so that students see a complete demonstration and
finish their notes before leaving the museum.
Tell students that they are to base their essays solely on the demonstration
and that they will not be able use other sources of information. Thus they
will need to ask all of their questions and finish their notes and sketches
before they leave.
