Wax Museum
Educators often stick to the same routine for their curriculum. When something works, why change it? The problem is that children change over the years and what once produced amazing grades and learning opportunities, does not work anymore. Children need more engaging activities and projects that allows them to produce creative and educational work that they can learn from. I chose this meme because I thought that it was funny and a good representation of new teachers versus “seasoned” teachers in the classroom.
A “Wax Museum” is when students dress and act like historical figures and other students can guess who it is and learn this new information. The students can also write mini research papers that can accompany their character so that they can have something for reference and an actual hard copy assignment to turn in for the projects. Compromise is key when transitioning from one teaching style to another, but it must be remembered that this is for the good of the students and their education, which is every teachers priority.
