Education Resource
This education resource draws upon the rich educational themes in The Medieval Imagination exhibition, providing teachers with background information and discussion ideas for pre-visit preparation and post-visit extension activities.
It is designed to enhance student understanding of medieval history, art traditions and book production through engaging, thinking-based activities. Its extensive resources allow the kit to continue to be a practical resource beyond the life of the exhibition.
The resource is aligned with Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) and targeted at Year 7 and 8 students (VELS Level 5), across the curriculum domains of The Humanities: History, English: Reading, and The Arts: Art and Visual Communication.
Contents
The education resource is divided into four main sections:
- Educational themes - an overview of the five key exhibition-related themes for discussion and investigation
- Learning programs - nine classroom activities for use before and after your exhibition visit
- Program resource sheets - material for students and teachers to use while following the learning programs
- Other resources and references - useful books and websites about medieval manuscripts.
