Wait... has anyone seen our eighth graders? We walked into the gym today and found a room full of legends instead! From Leonardo da Vinci to Sally Ride, our students completely "disappeared" into their characters for the annual Living Wax Museum.
This project served to flex their knowledge of research and writing from ELA their ELA lessons. Students were challenged to select a historical figure, write a comprehensive biography, and then bring that person to life for a live audience. We are so proud of the incredible work, detailed costumes, and the "stillness" they displayed during the presentations.
