Evaluate the Strategy for Use in Your Own Classroom

Discuss with your colleagues the challenges and benefits of using this session's strategy with your students or reflect on them in your journal.

1. Utilizing the field trips and classroom museum strategies requires a large time investment. How can you justify this use of time and ensure you are able to give adequate consideration to the breadth of your subject area if you concentrate so much attention on one unit of study?
2. What are some of the important transferable skills involved in this kind of work? What kind of assessment could you develop to measure students' ability levels in these transferable skills?
3. How does the history museum strategy help teachers integrate the work of other disciplines into the history classroom?
