Three stages of learning

Writing about objects

Make our own museum

Curators consider the following when describing objects:

What is it? What is it made of? Who uses it? What is its significance? Who made it? What can it do? Does it have a special meaning? What can you do with it? Where do you use it? Why is it like this? Who found it or invented it?

Using one of the thinking frameworks take a closelook at the gloves in front of you. Choose one or twofor the museum. Write a label for your object/s. You canuse up to 30 words.
