Russell County Homeschool Association
Living History Event
To culminate our study of local, state, and federal government and to showcase our amazing students, we will host a Living History Event in May. If your child is interested in participating, please follow these guidelines.
- Choose a president, governor, senator, etc.
- Research your selected historical public servant.
- Write a 2-3 minute script in which your character introduces him/herself and gives a brief synopsis of his/her life.
- Memorize your script.
- Put together a costume to make yourself look like your selected subject.
- Practice! Practice! Practice!
The Living History Museum works like this:
- Students will be placed throughout the room as in a museum exhibit.
- Each student will stand frozen like a statue until someone steps on the round button on the floor in front of them.
- When a guest steps on the button, the student will come to life and share their life story (their prepared script).
- When they finish. They go back to their frozen state until the next person pushes their button.
This event should prove to be great fun and an excellent way to showcase what the kids have been learning. Be sure to invite friends and family to come and enjoy the fun!
