As part of our initiative to empower our ESL students to use English outside the classroom in meaningful ways, we took a recent trip to The Metropolitan Museum of Art allowing students to practice language skills while engaging with history, art, and culture. 🖼️🖌️🏙️ Below is our process from beginning to end! To prepare: 🔹 Students learned about Museum Vocabulary. 🔹Students learned to practice conversation in English in a museum setting. 🔹 Students had a speaking session with volunteers to ask them about the LP volunteers’ experience at The Met Museum and their favorite exhibit. During the visit: 🔹 Students were given tasks to explore, choose their favorite exhibit/items, take notes on the exhibit description, and answer reflection questions such as why do you think this piece is important to you? Would you take your children to view this exhibit, and why? After the trip: 🔹 Students will write about their experiences at the museum, make a poster about their favorite piece and their feelings surrounding it, and present their work in front of the class and to the volunteers. Volunteers will then ask questions related to the student’s experience at The Met. Special thanks to Putri–one of our ESL teachers and all our volunteers in connection to The Met! ✨
