Both “Wonderful Things” and “Egypt’s Master Builders” highlight the importance the Ancient Egyptians placed on preserving their cultural heritage. Your task now is to create a proposal for your city/town council on the need to create and construct a cultural heritage museum for your community. Use the following guidelines as you complete this task. Create an outline for a proposal addressed to your city/town council on the need to develop a community cultural heritage museum.
Establish your purpose in creating this museum—give reasons and evidence that stress the importance of the project to the council members.
Identify the types of objects, artifacts, documents, and memorabilia that will be part of your museum and give evidence to support the inclusion of these articles.
Explain the design of the building you have in mind—think about the materials which will be used in construction and what you want the building to look like. Evaluate how the building itself will be a representation of your community.
Identify resources and funding the city/town can utilize in the construction of the museum.
