POTENTIAL END-OF-COURSE PROJECTS
​
​
For each of these, i asked students to create a museum exhibit. We researched what they could look like and what should be included. The end result was quite good. On one of the pages included here I gave students a wide variety of choices on how they wanted to present-these were used in earlier projects. The end results were not so good. Too much choice, at least for my students, led to confusion. But I include them here in case you are interested in trying them out. Also, keep in mind that these final projects dealt only with the history section of the course.
