One of my favorite things that my class and I did today in school was writing. I enjoyed doing writing today because I found out that my class will be doing the Living Museum. The Living Museum is where each person in our class would present a speech in front of kindergartners, first graders, second graders, third graders and so on. The speech is going to be about an important African American that did something that impacts our world. For this project, everyone in my class has to pick an African American of our liking. One of the “rules” was that two people can not be the same person, though 1 person can be someone like Matt Baker and the other could be Johnny Bright. After recess my class and I went to Mrs. Lack’s class to learn things we should do to make our speech mesmerizing. At the end of our lesson for the Living Museum each person told their peers how they might start their speech. For instance, “Good morning, my name is _____, and I’m most famous for _____. Therefore I really enjoyed starting the Living Museum and I’m really excited to do a presentation or speech that involves so many wonderful and exciting things.
