Welcome to Our Wax Museum!

 

Student Links

For this unit, you will be assigned a person from history or one that is currently living that has impacted our society is some way. You will research your person by using the links to your left in the "Student Links" column, and you will also complete research at our local library. After your research is complete, you will write a research paper about your person. We will end our project, with our class wax museum where you will dress up like your person, and tell our visitors about yourself.

What Is a Wax Museum?

A wax museum is a museum where you can go to learn about famous people. However, all of the people are made of wax and look just like the person you are learning about. In some wax museums, the person you are learning about actually talks, or the museum will have a display with information about that person. One famous wax museum is Madame Tussaud's. You can also click here to see pictures of last year's wax museum.

Research

We will work together on the research paper, but here is a cool website that will give you additional help.

This Week

Students will discover who they we learn about and become. Then we will simply be working on logging on to the school computers, using the Internet, and searching websites. I am asking that students visit the public library to obtain book resources to use as well. This will provide students with a valuable experience on how to find resources at the library and provide quality family time as well. If you need help while your there, one of the librarians would be glad to assist you!
