Annual Third-Grade Wax Museum


3rd Graders in their Wax Museum garb.


“Who Are You Again?




Surely was the question of the day when 3rd graders trooped into class dressed for the final portion of our biography/autobiography genre Wax Museum project. As part of this annual event, the students select a person of historical significance to research, using various media sources. Once the investigative portion of this process has been completed, they then write a speech from the first-person point of view, acting as if they are in fact that very person they’ve been researching. As a closing act, the students dress up as the person they’ve been researching and perform their speeches in our own 3rd grade class.

As always, this tends to be one of the students’ favorite units. This year was certainly no exception to the rule!

Great job students, with your research and historical portrayals!
