General Exhibit Information Form What did you plan to learn or do? (What was your exhibit goal(s)?) My goals were to make an interactive children’s story book and to learn more about each country that I was going to include in my interactive children’s story book. With my interactive children’s story book, I wanted kids to really get something out of the story instead of just reading a book. Many kids often learn better when they are using more than one of their senses. My book includes the use…

The Role of Women in the 1930s It seems that nowadays opportunities for men and women are close to equivalent, but we never think about what it used to be like when less than one quarter of women were in the workforce compared to half today. Back then, it was easily recognized that women were not equal to men. The chance of a women getting a job was very low. When women finally got a job, they were treated differently in the workplace and paid lower wages while working longer hours. The…

I have read Lydia Maria Child, in “Letter from New-York” and while understanding that this was published in the Era of Reform I am unsure of her actual message. At first knowing that child was an abolitionist, I thought perhaps that the trial of Amelia Norman was not just a case about a strongly biased society and legal system that limited the rights of a woman of the night. I started thinking that was Norman a free African American that was being tried during this delicate time in our history…

INTRODUCTION Both fictional novels and cultural mosaic films are defined by their use of generic conventions to present a particular meaning, relative to a particular perspective.

Each viewing, therefore relates to perspective of the audience which can reflect a…

“Mom! Mom! What’s her name again?” “Amelia Bedelia, Mag”, she reassured me, providing momentary relief for my frustration as I tried to read the picture book on my own.

After I really learned…
