Understanding Primary Sources: A Creative Museum Exhibit Project

This project encourages students to explore and analyze primary sources in their own words, fostering deeper understanding of historical documents. Each student will create a unique exhibit panel that contributes to a collective museum exhibit. Key tasks include researching a primary source, drafting informative labels and captions, and developing an engaging presentation of their findings. Students will also learn the importance of bibliographies and proper citation methods, enhancing their research and communication skills.
