As you all know, we just finished a very fun project. We became wax statues for an hour! But it was not that easy. First before we could become our statues, we had to choose and research an important American figure. We had to find information about early life, later life, accomplishments, and interesting facts about our person. Then taking that information we wrote a biography that we wrote, edited, and printed. After that we THEN started our backdrops: dding all the information, making it look nice, outlining, adding pictures, coloring, and adding the finishing touch is what we had to do. Along with all that craziness, we had to write a short speech about our person's accomplishments and memorize it. Then finally, when we were all in costume, we became statues!I Lots of classes and parents came to visit (see pictures below). They pushed the "button" on our backdrops and we "came to life" to tell them our speech. We had a very fun time doing the Bad wax museum. Did you have a fun time and what did you learn?
