On
Friday, May 2 the third grade students in Mrs. Wolney's and Ms. Harig's at
Blair Moody Elementary School created the Third Annual Living Museum of Early
Michigan History.
After
studying Michigan's history for the last few months, students were assigned an
important person from Michigan's past. Students then researched their
person, wrote a speech about their person, and designed a costume.
Visitors
to the Living Museum were able to "walk" through a timeline of history
from the 1600's with Native Americans through when Michigan became a
state. When a visitor to the museum pressed a character's button, history came
to life as the students recited their speeches.
Some
of the important people from Michigan's history that were depicted were French
Fur Traders, Chief Pontiac, Robert La Salle, Marie Therese Cadillac, British
Soldiers, Pioneers, and Lewis Cass.
