Living MuseumOxford Preparatory Academy – SOC

Storyboards Students read, summarize,

extract main ideas and supporting details. This will be accomplished as each chapter is completed. Storyboards will be placed in a report cover for display.

Speech Development

Students will develop a speech, written in first person, about the life and times of their character. They will include both the birth and death. Details from the speech will be extracted from the storyboard. This should be 2-3 pages typed, Comic Sans 16 point font. This will be a 2 minute speech.

Speech Students will deliver their speech

in costume in an intimate museum setting. Speeches will be a minimum 2 minutes in length. Classes and family members will visit the museum throughout the day. When their button is pushed, they will come to life and deliver their speech.

Song Students rehearse the lyrics to a

song that is sung at the Living Museum. We will learn this in class. The lyrics will be posted on our university websites.

Costume Students will help

create a costume depicting their character of study. This should be done at home. Their costume should match the cover of their book as close as possible.

Caricatures Students will be taught caricature

techniques and will apply them to their own creations of their character. This may be done during class or during designated Art Masters instruction.

Framing Your Character Quilt

Students create GATE frames and they will be assembled into a quilt for hanging.

Bust Each student needs to

create a bust of their character that matches the cover of the book. The parents will spray paint the busts to give the busts the color of skin. The students will create the hair out of yarn for the busts and apply the makeup. The students will also make the outfit for the bust. This will all be done in class.

Trifold Board Students will develop

a timeline and display dates in chronological order. Students will conduct an internet search for images of their character. They may purchase die cuts or type their character’s name. This will be done at school.

Letter Writing Students will write a descriptive

letter to their historical figure with questions and comments about their life. This will be done at school.
