Students will launch the museum project by testing first ideas with shared source trays, learning a common sourcing routine, and posting an initial claim that can be revised later as they gather stronger evidence.

Students will turn early observations from the station challenge into a defensible first position, test that position against multiple source types, and revise it through discussion and critique before posting it to the shared claim board.

Students will test their first claims against stronger and weaker sources, sort evidence that supports or challenges their ideas, compare oral histories with maps, images, and informational texts, and draft a counterargument they must address in later museum labels.

Students will strengthen museum labels and evidence panels by tightening claims, matching the strongest evidence to each sub-claim, practicing curator-style defense, and revising for clearer sourcing, reasoning, and representation before final submission.

Students will present their completed museum exhibit pieces to a real audience, defend their sourcing and representation choices under questioning, and compare their first and final claims through a brief audio reflection and updated claim board entry.
