LESSON PLANS FOR INTERPRETIVE TOURS
WITH DISCUSSION TOPICS
The collections
at the Museum of Appalachia offer countless
opportunities to illustrate many of the concepts
outlined in the TCAP Achievement State
Performance Indicators in Social Studies and in
Reading/Language Arts. The following are
suggestions for teaching these concepts during
your visit to the Museum and in post-visit
follow-up classes; in large part, they support a
pedagogical framework that encourages development
of conceptual thinking skills.
In some
instances, we have included ancillary items for
discussion that do not directly apply to the SPIs,
but which do encourage idea-sharing and promote interest
in the topic.
A bibliography for quoted texts appears at the end
of the lesson plans.
