Wax Museum

The "Living Wax Museum" project by Grade 4 students involved an engaging and multi-faceted exploration of global revolutions. The students delved into the study of revolutions worldwide, drawing comparisons and analyzing the causes and contemporary societal impacts of these transformative events.

To prepare the students for their transformation into historical revolutionaries for the "Living Wax Museum" exhibition, they learned to use Cornell notes as a tool for collecting relevant information. Throughout the process, students encountered and overcame challenges related to research and writing, showcasing their perseverance and dedication. To deepen their understanding, the students explored biographies and autobiographies, gaining insights into the lives of the revolutionaries they would eventually portray. The project concluded with each student crafting a personalized "autobiography" from the perspective of their chosen revolutionary figure.

During the exhibition, students presented their autobiographies, bringing history to life. The "Living Wax Museum" project not only fostered research and presentation skills but also instilled a sense of empathy and historical awareness among the Grade 4 participants. Well done Grade 4!
