My Project

My students will learn about many historical people who have made the world a better place! This project will fund costumes/props, display boards, and motion-activated lights for the living wax museum. By having fun and colorful costumes/props we will have the opportunity to carry out this project. These costumes will help students be able to look like their "character" at the wax museum! It's way more fun when they dress the part.

Students dress in character and recite their person's important accomplishment to history when a visitor "activates" their button.

Other important facts about the person, including a timeline of their life, photograph(s), and details about their accomplishments are presented on a tri-fold poster board.
