We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
We the fifth grade are tirelessly researching figures from the American Revolutionary War. Our note cards have been written, and we stand now on the eve of Essay drafting. The class used a program called Inspiration9 to organize our notes in a web. The benefit of using Inspiration9 is that the program can convert your web into a outline of events. This research and writing will bring us to a day of presentations. For the next two weeks we will be working in Art class on the backdrops that we will accompany us at the Wax Museum on March 4th.
The Wax Museum is a lot more than just reciting a speech and standing in front of a background. We will be dressing in period clothing supplied to us from the Friend's costumes in the attic. Our speeches will also give us the chance to become the figure we chose to study, and for just a few minutes we will be those historical figures repeating speeches to the guests at our museum.
Some of the figures you can expect to see are Judith Sergant Murray, Salem Poor, Sam Adams, John Hancock, and Sir William Howe. We’ll see you in March!
