2016 Wax Museum Success


In true gabbiano spirit, the students of cottage 4 successfully implemented the 2016 Wax Museum With A Twist.  I presented the students with the problem-based learning opportunity at the beginning of the second quarter.  The main question we started with was what is censorship and why is it an issue. This led us to the creation of a learning issues board:

From the learning issues board, students mapped out the rest of the unit of study.  Each student was tasked with setting and monitoring goals for achievement.  Students chose to demonstrate learning through the implementation of a wax museum.  Students created research essays, multi-media messages, and advertising for the museum.

Look for student comments below, as they take turns relating their individual thoughts about the learning activity.  You are invited to comment as well.  What are your thoughts about the unit, museum, or your child's performance?

  1. I learned that you can't make your presentation
    too text-heavy. When you do, people leave before you're done and you have to skip slides. :( Mary

  2. This is a key learning point for me too as I prepare finalist presentations. You don't want them to be too long or too text heavy. I agree.
