My Project

As you may know, Black History Month is celebrated during February. Our Black History Month Living Wax Museum Project was just introduced!

The students are very excited about this assignment!

They have selected a notable person to research.Students will write an essay, speech, create a slideshow and a poster board (in school) about their notable person. These materials will help my students create poster boards for their Living Wax Museum!

We will hold a Black History Living Wax Museum during the month of February. The students dress up as their person and give their speech to fellow peers!
