We currently have 0 digital exhibits for you to explore!
How to use our exhibits:
These exhibits are made primarily to provide a rare-book experience shorter than our modules for those who do not have the time to teach an entire lesson. They can be used with or instead of our modules! Each exhibit is accessible online, meaning that any student with access to the internet can engage in these resources, either in the classroom or at home. To enhance the exhibition and create an educational experience for your students, all of our exhibits include thought-provoking questions to encourage them to think like scholars. At the end of each exhibit, a link to a WebQuest worksheet will be provided for the teachers who wish to make this experience an assignment.
Each exhibit description provides a list of covered standards, appropriate age groups, and accommodation suggestions. Most of our exhibits have multiple versions to cater to a wide array of age groups.
