Are these adult students? If so, it will be easy to make expectations known. Are they teens or younger? Then you will have to limit their independent time. Tours give very good information and are used to working with groups. The museum may be able to give you materials that you could use to prepare worksheets before field trip day. Put them into mixed language groups the day before the field trip. Have some little activity for them to do while they are there -- not something burdensome, but make it an assignment which will count for their daily grade. They could look for specific things (content) or write new words (you could focus on different parts of speech). You could require each group to compose a summary of the day. Make sure they still have some fun! The possibilities are endless. Good luck! Anna V.
