Student-Focused Tours
We are pleased to announce a number of significant changes and additions to the tours offered at the Wolcott House Museum Complex. We're confident that these changes will augment your social studies curriculum, while assisting you in meeting the State Social Studies Content Standards*.
1. Student tours have been enhanced to include a more hands-on approach to history. Since young guests will be involved with recently acquired demonstration items and reproductions, they will be interacting with history, rather than just hearing about it.
2. Special attention has been paid to the State Social Studies Standards. Hands-on experiences have been specifically planned to provide added exposure to the knowledge and skills outlined in the State Grade Level Indicators.
3. Pre and Post-Visit Activities are provided. Teachers can get ideas for introducing their students to the knowledge areas they'll be exploring prior to a visit, as well as ideas for involving students in review and extension activities afterwards.
A Resource Guide on Native Americans that's a "Must" for Your Classroom!
Native Americans of Northwest Ohio: A Resource Guide is a user-friendly resource guide. It includes historical information, along with a variety of student activities and cross-curriculum projects, which may be presented in your classroom or provided for students to complete at home. This guide can be purchased at the Museum Store on the grounds of the Wolcott House Museum Complex or at a variety of area bookstores.
A "Traveling Trunk" to enhance
your Native American studies!
Two "Traveling Trunks" are available for teacher use in conjunction with the resource guide mentioned above. The Trunks are filled with hands-on historical items and reproductions, which compliment the information and activities in the guide.
* State Standards can be found in the calendar site.
