Activity #1 - Predict
Step 1
Have you ever been to a museum? If so think about the types of things that you saw there. Since the Louvre is located in Paris, France do you think you will see things that are similar to other museums or different? Do you think there will be cultural items from France at this Museum? Do you know of any famous French painters or sculptures? Use your prior knowledge of museums and of French culture to record some things you predict you might see at the Louvre in a word or pdf document. After this watch the video that is posted below. As you are watching record some more point form ideas/notes about what you think you might see at the museum. Once you have made all of your predictions upload the document in the space provided below. Once you have uploaded your file follow the directions for step #2 at the bottom of the page.
Step 2
Once you have uploaded your predictions to this website your job is to look at at least two other people's predictions. You can do this by clicking on any of the files above (if you do not see any files this means that your classmates have not yet uploaded their predictions. While waiting please visit the extensions page and begin working on one of the activities). Once you have chosen two prediction files compare and contrast your predictions with your classmates and look at what predictions were similar and which predictions they had that you had not thought about. If you would like to add any predictions to your file please do so now by clicking the edit button beside your file name.
You are now ready to move onto Activity #2!
