Fifth-grade students at Wasatch Elementary put on the
school’s annual Wax Museum, an event that encourages students to
research the life and accomplishments of a certain individual that
contributed to greater and common good for mankind. Each student read a
book about the person they wished to highlight or found other credible
resources to gain information from. The students dressed up as their
historical figure and even brought props to help illustrate more of whom
they were representing. They posed as still as they could, like a wax
figure, unless someone came, pushed a "button" on their display, and the
student then recited facts about their figure’s history and
accomplishments.From Jim Henson to Annie Oakley, and from Henry Ford to Barack Obama, there was fantastic variety of notable characters that made a difference one way or another in history. The students did a wonderful job conducting thorough research and worked hard to represent their subject in the best possible way.
