• I realise that this is an ESL resource and the emphasis is on language structures and vocabulary, but I feel that it doesn't do justice to the museum's resources; even though it appears to cover them very thoroughly, it also thoroughly objectifies them, which is exactly what (I thought) museums were trying to move away from. But whether you're dealing with adults or children I would expect a unit of work on such a remarkable collection to engage the students on some sort of ideological level: language activities could still take into account the students' own experiences of community, culture, race, history etc that would help them to understand through comparison...
