Design Your Own Exhibit
Designing a bulletin board exhibit

Ask the class to use what they know about Constitution to design an artifact that might have been used aboard her. Have students work in teams to create: a sketch of the item, a description, including materials of which it is made, precise function and who on board used it; a concise but interesting label; and a one-page story of how it was found. Have teams work together to find a theme for their artifacts and create an exhibit on the bulletin board.
