Living Wax Museum Project
Students participating in a living wax museum! This activity required students to identify significant contributions of a famous or not so famous African Americans. They choose the person to portray with teacher approval before proceeding with the project.  In selecting a person, they tried to find someone of historical significance; someone who has been successful in their goals and dreams; and/or someone who represents the “best” of people and the world.  The “living wax museum” was a collection of visual displays where students, dressed as famous individuals, stand at attention, while visitors walk around and tour exhibits illustrating the life of the person represented.
