  • Forth step:  Write about the museum you are researching. Include things such as; What does the museum specialize in? Is there a theme? Find 5 things that are interesting to you and write about them.When you are finished, you should have 5 museums that include all of the above information for each.
  • Fifth step: Locate the museum on the map and put a star on that site. Make sure that you have the correct city and state before placing the star on the location.
