Written Resources
Most museums will have written resources available for schools. These resources might include
teachers' packs or information sheets available either from the museum or online. (However please
bear in mind that smaller museums may have very limited budgets and might only be able to afford
basic resources.)
Teachers' packs might include:
- information for teachers about the museum and its collections
- photographs and documents to use in the classroom for preparation and follow-up work
- maps and plans showing location and layout of museum
- worksheets/activity sheets
- ideas for pre and post-visit activities.
If there is no Teachers' Pack as such it is worth discussing whether the museum might be able to provide any of the above resources.
