An Online Museum Assignment

Tour an online American Indian museum exhibit concerning American Indian religions, philosophies and/or world views and write an essay regarding the exhibit, stating what you've learned about American Indian religions and philosophies from the exhibit. Be sure not to plagiarize from the exhibit/website. E-mail me the URL of 3 possible exhibits with the name of each exhibit and receive an email in return that okays your choice. In other words you and a friend may not both do the same online museum. This assignment must be typed and double-spaced. The points you will receive will be based on how throughly your essay demonstrates your understanding of the content of the exhibit in regards to ICS 44 parameters. Worth 100 points Fall 2009.

You must provide the following information at the top of the essay: --the title of the exhibit.

--name the curator of the exhibit.

--if the title of the exhibit is different than the goal of the exhibit then state the goal.

E-mail 3 URL's and your name, class number and section and/or the time your class meets to parkergerri@fhda.edu I will return your e-mail and identify hopefully your first choice as the exhibit you will "do" for this assignment. Check the last portion of this page for URL choices already reserved by other students.
