Ancient Civilizations Wax Museum

5th graders held their Ancient Civilizations Wax Museum! As a culminating activity for their social studies unit, students chose one role in one ancient civilization and, after completing research both in class and in the school library, wrote a speech about a day in the life of that role in first person point-of-view. Visitors could tap each figure's button to make it come to life.
