Calling all teachers: Help plan our new exhibit Help us make
history. Nominations are being accepted now for the History
Center's upcoming "MN 150" exhibit. We want to hear from you! If
you were to choose just one thing that means "Minnesota," what
would it be? How might your students answer this question? To
celebrate our state's 2008 sesquicentennial, we're creating a
major new exhibit showcasing 150 things, people, places, and
events originating in Minnesota that have sparked change within
the state or beyond its borders. We want nominations from the
far-distant past to the present. Let your students influence the
work of real exhibit developers--at one of the nation's largest
state history museums. Try one of these ideas, or come up with
your own: - Turn nominations into a class project, such as a
scrapbook. - Assign nominations as homework. Historical analysis
skills will come into play as students conduct research. - Write
your own nomination. What person, event, or story compels your
students year afte
