Our Meme is about change in the classroom and how some teachers are very set in their old ways. We have new ideas about how we can change the old, boring research paper into a fun exciting Wax Museum. This way the students still have to do research and learn about the topic we assigned, but it has a fun spin on it!

A wax museum is creative and entertaining for both the presenter and the audience. The child does the research about the topic they were given and then creates a character about that topic and gives a short speech when approached. This way we can be certain that the information is retained, the repetitive nature of this project helps the child to really remember the topic and the creative aspect helps it to be fun! Learning without fun can usually guarantee that no lasting information will be kept by the student.

This picture is describing a scene where one teacher is arguing against doing a research paper for a final project. Research paper are not interesting or fun enough to teach children. So this comic is how we chose to express our view that a hands on, creative project would be more interesting and attention grabbing for the students.
