Homeschool Huddle: Historical Wax Museum

Each participant will choose a real person from history, science, the arts, or culture to research and represent. Dressed in costume and standing “frozen” like a wax figure, students will come to life with the press of a pretend button to deliver a short speech about their character’s life and accomplishments. This fun and educational project includes: Choosing a historical or influential figure to portray Researching and writing a one minute speech Creating a costume and self-standing display board Practicing public speaking and presentation skills Note to Participants: Please bring your own self-standing display board for your presentation (36" x 48" max size).
