Waxing historic
Delphi Community Middle School students step back in time to learn and tell about historic people during a Wax Museum. Sixth-grade students chose a person from the past then read biographies and other literature about him or her. Each prepared a first-person speech based on the historic figure's point of view and presented it to parents, teachers and classmates during the event last week. Teacher Wendi Thompson said the program was designed to help students develop standard speaking skills and their efforts were evaluated by teachers during the program. She said she was pleased to know parents and children worked together to build costumes and prepare the 45-second memorized speeches.
