These last few weeks we have been working on the wax museum project. A wax museum is where you learn and research EVERYTHING about a person. Then you dress up like your person and have a "museum." Other students and parents came to our classroom during the museum day. If they push a button on the backdrops we made, then you recite a practiced speech about your person. After your speech, you go back into your wax museum 'frozen' pose. Our amazing class did a wax museum on American figures! We chose any person who was important to American history. The figures went all the way from Lewis and Clark expedition, to the Civil Rights Movement, to car makers and presidents, but they were all good.The people we chose to study were: Helen Keller, Babe Ruth, Milton Hershey, Amelia Earhart, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr., Sacajawea, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Franklin, Theodore Roosevelt, Walt Disney, Alexander Hamilton, Harriet Tubman, Betsy Ross, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Rosa Parks, Steve Jobs, Jackie Robinson, and Abigail Adams. Overall, it was amazing! What did you guys like about the Wax Museum? |
