Museum Evaluation Questions
Click here to visit the Kenosha Civil War Museum's website: http://www.kenosha.org/civilwar/index.html With your literature circle, take a few minutes to reflect on our field trip to the Kenosha Civil War Museum. Evaluate the museum and apply what you learned from our trip to your project by answering these questions. Please handwrite the answers in class, staple them to your group's "Exploring Museums" worksheet, and turn your work in. Please make sure everyone's names are on your work and that your handwriting is legible!

1. What was the most interesting, surprising, or thought-provoking thing each student in your lit circle learned at the museum?

2. What did you like or dislike about the exhibits?

3. From what you experienced yesterday, what do you think makes a good museum exhibit? Why? From what you experienced yesterday, what makes a powerful, innovative, interactive musuem exhibit?

4. What did you take away from the talk Gina, the exhibit curator, gave before we entered the exhibit? How can you apply what Gina said to your own exhibit designs, both for the online (virtual) exhibit and the letter describing the actual (physical) exhibit?
