Support material and suggested post excursion activities for students attending the two day costumed experience at Sovereign Hill's historical schools.
I advised a group of students in Students Consulting Nonprofit Organizations (SCNO), as a Project Manager. We worked with our client, the Paleontological Research Institution (PRI), to create a new orientation manual for their future employees. This would be a guide to the new staff members in understanding the company, realizing what resources they had access to, and a general place to refer to when seeking information about the company.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

7. The Museum Process
THE BIG IDEA:
The Age of Exploration has changed world history. Ever
since first contact, civilizations in the Americas, Africa, and
Europe have exchanged elements of their cultures. Each
region was forever changed by exploration and encounter in
both positive and devastating ways.
The 7th grade will create a museum that examines these
civilizations before contact, during their encounters, and the
legacy of their exchanges with each other.
8. The Students’ Task
Role: You are a museum assistant! You are in charge of selecting a
topic, conducting research, and creating an exhibit related to the
BIG IDEA.
Audience: Museum goers will include students, parents and
teachers.
Format: Your exhibit will include written museum text and a
hands-on or interactive component that teaches more about your
topic.
Topic: The topic must be directly related to the BIG IDEA. You
can select from one of the many ideas on the project idea sheet, or
you can propose your own topic. Select a project that appeals to
your interests.
9. Choosing a Topic
Using the BIG IDEA framework,
students select a topic relating to any
of the regions or civilizations we
have studied throughout the year.
They must identify a research
question and determine the lenses
they will apply during the analysis.
10. The Museum Process
• Students may propose their own topic idea or choose from a list

21. Detailed Sample Exhibit
A sample project, focused in West Africa, introduced visitors to
the Empire of Ghana’s participation in a gold-salt trade network.
Her exhibit writing focused on the following topics:
HOW DID GHANA’S WEALTH AND ADVANCEMENTS
FLOURISH WITH THE TRADE?
GOLD MINES IN WANGARA: WHAT WAS SO IMPORTANT
ABOUT THE WANGARAN GOLD MINES?
SALT MINES IN TAGHAZA: HOW WAS SALT CULTIVATED IN
THESE TIMES?
SILENT BARTARING: HOW DID THE SILENT BARTARING
PROCESS WORK?
22. Detailed Sample Exhibit
The student then created an illustrated digital children’s
book featuring a young Arab trader making the journey
across the Sahara in order to teach the facts about the gold
salt trade that she uncovered during her research.
Museum visitors learned how Ghana’s empire benefitted
from its location near key rivers and trade routes and
capitalized on their geographic position between the
locations of the desired gold and salt.
23. Detailed Sample Exhibit
A student project focused on the life and travels of Ibn
Battuta described the life and journey of the north African
explorer and scholar. Her exhibit focused on the following
topics:
THE LIFE AND TRAVELS OF IBN BATTUTA
THE RIHLA (Ibn Battuta’s account of his travels)
THE IMPACT OF IBN BATTUTA’S WORK ON OUR
UNDERSTANDING OF THE EMPIRE OF MALI
24. Detailed Sample Exhibit
The student recreated an excerpt from Ibn Battuta’s account
of his travels that focused on the months he spent traveling
and living in the empire of Mali.
She provided her own annotations in response to the
observations he made there, from his accounts of court life,
to Ibn Battuta’s positive and negative judgments on the
practice of Islam by the Malian people.
25. Evaluation and Reflection
Students are evaluated formally and
informally throughout the entire process
on research process, writing process,
collaboration & creativity.
27. In a Student’s Own Words
“I used to think that history consisted of memorizing facts, and I
found it boring. But after taking your class, I’ve realized that history
can be more than that. History can be analyzing actions and learning
from them. History can be studying the choices of past groups or
individuals and seeing how those choices affect the world. It can be
realizing that every action has a ripple effect, and that a person across
the world from another person can determine their fate. Tying all this
together, I think the main lesson I have learned from you is that
everything is interconnected, and everything has cause and effect…
You taught me that anything can be easy if you start with a strong
base and build upwards from there. In this case, the base was strong
sources, but this could also apply to other situations. I can use this
information not only to help me complete school projects, but also to
help me complete any challenges I face in life.”

Editor's Notes
I’m Renee Charity Price, one of the 7th grade history teachers. I am here to speak to you briefly about the 7th grade history course, and I would like to focus particularly on the 7th grade museum project, explaining what it is, how it relates to the history course, the process girls will engage in as they take on this project in the spring, and of course why we think this is a beneficial experience for the girls.
Back in 2006 weCreated a course entitled: Africa, the Americas, and Europe: An ExchangeReplaced a course that examined European Renaissance history from mainly Western perspectives to provide a more global view of world historyNew course introduces regions and peoples before, during, and after the explosion of exploration that occurred beginning in the 1400s
We introduced a student created museum as the capstone project for a year long study of civilizations such as the Aztecs, Incas, the empires of Ghana and Mali, and Europe in the Middle Ages through the Renaissance.
We grounded the history course in essential questions AND eight lenses through which to analyze world history. We apply these to the civilizations we examine using primary and secondary sources, a text, and other materials to form a knowledge base from which to conduct further research.
All year long, students think about the essential questions while wrestling with the course material. They even come up with their own questions along the way. During our class activities, projects, and writing assignments, students learn to think critically about the specific historical events, but also analytically across time periods and regions.
The 8 lenses are used to analyze different factors at work in historical periods. We use the lenses to draw connections between societies, past and present:Our goal is for students to see that these lenses are interrelated and more than one factor is often at play at one time.
In the Spring, students are introduced to the Museum’s big idea statement. It is essentially a summary of our entire year of studies up until that point in the year.
They are then introduced to their task: to become museum assistants who will research and create interactive and informative exhibits for visitors to learn more details about elements of the Big Idea.
Using the BIG IDEA framework, students select a topic relating to any of the regions or civilizations we have studied throughout the year. They must identify a research question and determine the lenses they will apply during the analysis.
After months of foundational studies, we individually guide students through the entire museum creation process- from identifying a topic to opening the exhibits to the community.WhenIdentify a topicStudents may propose their own topic idea or choose from a list of pre-generated ideasWe guide them through lots of ResearchLocate print and text sourcesRead, read, read—and take notesWrite TextOutline the presentationStudents submit multiple drafts of text They work in and out of class to Create their ExhibitVisual, audio, and/or experiential learning stationsFinally they will Share their findings on opening dayMuseum opens May 2012!
Each year we visit a professional museum, and then we think critically to analyze its effective and ineffective aspects. This helps students understand the task before them.
Students use extensive library resources including online encyclopedias, databases such as ABC-CLIO, books, atlases, etc.
Students collaborate and document their research using NoodleTools, an online research support software.
Students work with both their history and English teachers to learn how to write clearly and succinctly for a museum audience.
Students plan, design, and build their exhibits.
After weeks of hard work, students guide parents, other students, faculty, and community members through their exhibits. In the picture, This students’ exhibit allowed visitors to discover advances in medicine during the Renaissance in Europe.

This photo shows a student project that detailed the history and cultivation of the potato and the tomato. She highlighted the exchange of these important food crops during the age of exploration.
There are so many reasons for conducting a project such as this: from interdisciplinary skills such a research and writing to providing students with choices throughout their project which gives them a sense of ownership and accomplishment to the array of critical thinking skills such as determining reliable sources or figuring out what to do when sources clash or contradict with each other.
But I won’t ask you totake just my word for it, please listen to this excerpt from a current 8th grader following her museum experience for further evidence:This is the reason why I teach 7th grade. This is the moment when these concrete thinkers evolve into abstract, complex thinkers. This project is just one opportunity for them to exercise their minds this school year.
