Design an Exhibit

Worksheet Description

The worksheet titled “Black History Month” engages students in a creative and comprehensive exercise to conceptualize a new exhibit for the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. At the top, a field for the student’s name personalizes the project. Instructions set the task: students are to imagine and plan an exhibit, encouraging them to synthesize knowledge and apply critical thinking skills. The worksheet prompts students to describe what their exhibit will be about, urging them to choose a focus that reflects the richness and diversity of African American history and culture.

Further questions guide students to delve into the significance of their chosen subject, the key facts that the exhibit should present, and the sensory experience it should offer, including its look, sound, and feel. These prompts help students think deeply about how to create an engaging and educational experience for museum visitors. The final question, asking what they want visitors to learn, pushes students to consider the educational impact of their exhibit. This final element ensures that the exercise is not only about creativity but also about the potential to inform and inspire others about the complexities and triumphs of Black history.
