Classroom Resources for Teachers Extend museum learning into
your classroom with materials that are designed for use with
your students before and after their visit. These resources may
also be used to enrich classroom teaching if you are unable to
make a trip to PEM. The Peabody Essex Museum’s Education

and art cards, these resources were written for K-12 teachers by
museum educators with academic and experiential knowledge of

provides three lesson plans that explore the unique
characteristics of Chinese art. (
