Pre- and Post-Visit Curriculum Packet

This packet contains five creative lesson plans designed to help prepare students for their visit to the Higgins Armory Museum, and to follow their visit with further enrichment activities. Each lesson includes background information, objectives, clear steps for implementation, an assessment checklist, a vocabulary list and a materials list. Each lesson also outlines the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks it meets in the areas of History and Social Studies, English Language Arts, and Visual Arts.

If you've booked a role-playing workshop, these pre- and post- visit curriculum packets can help ready your students for the workshop.
