The kids choose someone who has made a difference in our world & research them.
They go through several steps, including choosing a book, filling in an outline, writing a rough draft, typing a final draft, & assembling a costume, to complete the entire project.
The project culminates in a "Living Museum" where students appear as wax figures & visitors can step on a little square in front of them to make them come to life.
They give a few short sentences on who they are & how they made a difference.
1st graders, parents, teachers, & 2nd graders' siblings all have the opportunity to visit our museum.
2nd graders always step up to the plate & do an awesome job!
He did a fabulous job throughout the project & was great at the Living Museum.
He was in character the entire morning!!
I enjoyed listening to him. So did his big brother, although he would NEVER admit it! :)
3 years ago, when Timothy did this same project in 2nd grade, he was George Washington Carver.
Couldn't find my pics, but here is a video snippet from his part in the Living Museum!
(For some reason it turns the wrong way, so tilt your head & enjoy!)
