Biography Wax Museum

Blue Star Fifth Graders all read a biography. As a follow-up project they created a biography portfolio of the person they selected. Students wrote obituaries, birth announcements, comic strips, speeches, and more for their projects. To end our Biography unit the students memorized a speech and put together a costume for their person.


Each class held a Wax Museum/Biography Brunch. The students invited their parents to come and "push their buttons" while they learned facts about many famous people. Students represented a wide range of people, from Harriett Tubman to Peyton Manning.

Below are pictures of the students during the Wax Museum.
