Wax Museum Proejct Teaches Research and Presentation Skills

The fourth graders have been busy over the last weeks researching a historic figure and developing a biography of that person.



All this research has culminated in the "Wax Museum" held this week. Each child dressed up, brought in a prop or otherwise represented their character.


Characters ranged from sports stars like Alexander Ovechkin, to writer Brian Jacques (above) to historical figures like Elizabeth Blackwell - the first female doctor in America.



Along the way, the fourth grade learned about researching a person, making a presenation and the elements of a biography.
