This unique and interactive educational approach combines social studies with creative writing development and a little bit of acting. With the help of the History Maker Biographies Series, each student read about a historical figure, answering various questions and taking notes; all this in preparation for a written report using The Six Traits of Writing. Sacred Heart of Jesus School believes writing is such a crucial skill at every grade. So these third graders used their creative talents to construct papers filled with colorful words and detailed sentences in order to excite the reader.
To round out the learning experience, students used wooden spoons to design doll replicas of the people they studied. The wax museum was the culminating activity centered around the importance of bringing history alive. The entire school joined in this opportunity to stroll through history and view the "statues".
