Online Museum Extra Credit

Tour an online American Indian museum exhibit concerning American Indian arts and write an essay regarding the exhibit, stating what you've learned about American Indian arts 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 the throughness of your essay.

You must provide the following information: --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.

Here's some URLs to start your research for an online museum exhibit if you can't find an exhibit on the NMAI website that peaks your interest.

You may not duplicate another student in your class. In other words no 2 students will analyze the same museum exhibit. Send me an email with your choices ranked. I will return an approved choice. Print that email and attach it to your essay.
