Description

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with this biography research project! This Wax Museum Project will help your students create a biography research report on a famous person of Hispanic Heritage. The finished project is a Wax Museum event, where students dress up as the person they have learned about and hold a “pose”, like a Wax Museum, until someone walks up to them and presses the “button” near them. Then students give a short speech about that person’s life.

  9. Amanda L. –

    This project was awesome! My first-year Spanish students (in 7th grade) were able to complete the project with a few edits, as I gave them sentence starters. I also added a few more people because I have so many students. What a great activity for learning more about notable Spanish speakers and language for introduing oneself. So helpful to have the rubric already finished as well. Can’t wait to do this project every year!
