Museum Media
How does media describe history and influence perceptions? Tour a portion of the Pee Dee History Gallery and create a playlist on a gallery map describing the time periods toured.
Gallery Tour: Pee Dee History Gallery
Studio Activity: Playlist Creation
Post Museum Visit Extension Activity for the Classroom or at Home (SC ELA Standards Based):
After their visit, students will place themselves in the shoes of a docent and create their own written guided tour. Information gathered during their visit will help them as they extend this activity through their own research of the featured works. In their tour, they will also reference their musical playlist and justify how this playlist ties into the gallery tour.
