Chelsea Intermediate School Third Grade Biography Wax Museum

Chelsea Intermediate School third graders featured a cast of characters as students dressed up to become renowned people in history at their Biography Wax Museum.

Prior to the event, each student selected a famous person and read independently the “Who Is/Was” series book about that person. They then took the information they learned to create a two minute speech about the person they researched.

During the Biography Wax Museum, students dressed in costume to portray the person they studied and presented their speech to parents and their peers as their famous character.

As visitors entered the Wax Museum in the gymnasium, the students acting as the wax figures had their heads down and were very still. Once a visitor pushed their “start button” the student raised his or her head and began to give their speech.

Some of the characters portrayed by the students included President Barrack Obama, Ben Franklin, King Tut, Amelia Earhart, President Abraham Lincoln, Babe Ruth, Jane Goodall, President George Washington, Elvis Presley, President John F. Kennedy, Muhammad Ali, Albert Einstein, Queen Elizabeth, Sacagawea, Anne Frank, Steve Irwin, Pablo Picasso, Neil Armstrong, Lucille Ball and many others.
