Fourth Grade Wax Museum

Essential Question:  
How do good readers determine the main idea and details when reading non-fiction?
During the month of February, Team Gibbas students read biographies. Students practiced their skills of determining the main ideas, or most important ideas in biographies by reading about a famous person depicted in the "Who is" "Who was" series of chapter books.  Students then wrote first-person speeches describing the most important events in the life of the famous person that they read about.  Finally, students brought these famous people to life on March 3rd at the fourth grade Wax Museum!  Students did a fabulous job becoming these famous people and describing the important events of their lives.
