PHOTO GALLERY: Students bring historical figures back to life

Posted

The walls couldn't talk, but the exhibits certainly could, and visitors to Alan Shepard's annual second-grade Wax Museum got a lesson in history on May 10.

With visitors roaming the "museum," students waited patiently for people to push the red buttons on their wrist to "bring them to life." Each student chose an individual to research, and the museum was the culmination of several aspects of the project. Essentially, the students “became” the person they studied.

They dressed as the famous person, memorized a short speech, and posed as statues during a gallery walk. Teachers involved in the popular project included Bridget Robbins, Kate Meinecke and Molly Hayes.
