The Cleveland Museum of Art announces an exciting project based videoconference series Coins, Coins, Coins. This 2 part series for grades 3-5 allows students to explore the history of coins and then create one representing their own communities. This is an ideal complement to a unit on local history.
Videoconference #1 introduces coins from ancient Greece to present day USA in the museum’s collection. In videoconference #2 students show their designs and offer a persuasive research based presentation their coin’s local symbolism. Co-developed by The Cleveland Museum of Art and teachers from Newark (Ohio) City Schools, this series is copiously aligned to Social Studies and Language Arts standards and is suitable for multipoint connections between schools if desired.
