The Centre d’histoire de Montréal invites students to participate in a three-part, dynamic visit that has them act as apprentice historians. In class, before the visit, students work in groups to learn about a famous Montrealer. Then, at the museum, they collect information about that person’s era with a series of three activities. Once back at school, they’ll create a poster and present it to their class.
A museum tour in three parts (3 x 30 minutes):
1. A guided tour of the permanent exhibition, Traces. Places. Memories, will allow students to get their historical bearings.
2. A group exploration and research session in the exhibition will help document the time period of their historical figure. Each team will investigate the room that corresponds with that Montrealer’s era.
3. An investigatory workshop on objects from the museum’s collection, with links to the groups’ historical figures, will complement the information they found in the exhibition.
