Virtual Museum Exhibit
You can upload the completed project on Canvas from May 2 – May 8

Project Overview:

For your final project, you will curate a digital museum exhibit centered on a theme, event,
movement, or era in U.S. history that we’ve studied this semester. Your exhibit should engage
the viewer, demonstrate thoughtful analysis, and showcase your understanding of historical
context and significance.

STEP 1: Select a topic we've covered this semester.

Some ideas include:

● Colonial Period
● Jacksonian Era
● Civil War
● Slavery in the U.S. South
● Native American Resistance

These are just examples and you can select a subject other than what is listed.

STEP 2: Your exhibit should have a clear historical argument or theme that should be stated
clearly on your introductory slide.

Here are some examples:

● The Trail of Tears exemplifies how U.S. expansionist policies prioritized land acquisition
over Indigenous rights, leading to both physical and cultural devastation for Native
nations.

● The success of the Virginia colony depended on unfree labor and land exploitation,
laying the groundwork for racial slavery and class division in early America.

● While Jacksonian democracy expanded political participation, it simultaneously
deepened the marginalization of minorities and women.

● Enslaved people resisted their bondage through rebellion, escape, culture, and
community, which challenged the myth of passive acceptance and fueled the moral
urgency of abolition.

STEP 3: Select 4 primary or secondary artifacts related to your theme.

These may include:

● Historical photographs
● Newspaper clippings

● Speeches or letters
● Political cartoons
● Posters, protest signs, or advertisements
● Maps or legal documents

Each artifact should:

● Be historically accurate and relevant
● Include a caption (2–3 sentences) that explains:

○ What the artifact is
○ Why it matters
○ How it connects to your overall theme or thesis

STEP 4: Use Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Google Slides, Canva, Padlet, or a basic website tool
(like Google Sites or Wix) to digitally present your exhibit.
