Memorization
Be Glad Your Nose Is On Your Face
By Jack Prelutsky
Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.
(April 10)
Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you’d be forced to smell your feet.
Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.

Research A Hero
This week we are learning more about some people that were brave, courageous, stuck up for what is good and true, and changed the world for the better. You will each choose a person to research.
Research that person’s life: What made them exceptional? What did they do that impacts our world today? What inspires you about this person? I have a sign up sheet below, but know that you can do anyone that inspires you! There are so many to choose from!
Prepare For Wax Museum
To present what you learned, we are going to have a wax museum. Have you seen this done before? Essentially, there are students dressed up as characters from history who have prepared a memorized “speech” or “introduction”. The student acts as if they are the person from history and shares why they are famous, how they changed or influenced the world, successes, challenges, etc.
There is a tri-fold board in the background that has pictures, info, dates, etc. on it to help teach the attendees about each person.
There is usually a red button on each character that the attendees of the wax musueum press to start the presentation. The characters are frozen and remain still until someone presses his/her button.
Yikes. Is this overwhelming? I’m sort of overwhelmed just typing it. Haha! Here are some steps that will break it down so it feels more doable.
- Choose the person you want to research and be at the Wax Museum.
- Research the person.
- Write a speech explaining who you are, what you did and why it matters.
- Create a tri-fold board with your person’s pictures and info.
- Put a start button somewhere that people can push. (This can be as easy as a paper with a circle that says, “START.”
- Find/create a costume.
- Practice with your family so you’ll know exactly what you are going to say.
Finish Reading!
Finish reading The Dreamer.
In Class
In class we are going to discuss The Dreamer, and do some activities to celebrate this book.
We are going to have our wax museum as well. We’ll invite the Rookies and the Seniors to come and push your buttons! hahaha Actually, we are inviting them to come be dazzled by your knowledge and fabulous acting skills ;0 I can’t wait! It will be fun 🙂
