Students complete sketch pages with partial drawings of objects found in exhibits for students to complete the drawings based on their observations. 2. Students complete field notebooks for recording answers to prepared questions. 3. Students complete hand drawn postcards to write near the end of the tour that will summarize the field trip visit. Follow up activities after the trip: 1. Provide time for students to ask questions, record key words, ideas and phrases as journal entries. 2.
