Why do you want to attend MTSU and how will an education at MTSU help you meet your goals?

Write a reflection paper 600-1000 about our group visit to the Mayborn Historic Village. Remember to keep in mind our class definition of a “museum” and what we’ve learned in class so far, but also make it personal.

How do you think the signage looks out here in Historic Village and what educational fun events can be made to be excitable and educational to the public.

The purpose is for you to think about how the museum fits into the framework we are building around the question: What is a museum? I also want to see your personal reflections on the museum: Did you find it engaging? What was your initial reaction? What did you learn? What problems or opportunities did you notice? Please remember to proofread your paper as sloppy work will affect your grade.

Please add a lot of personal opinions and reflection throughout the essay. Write about experience.
