EFA+ 5th graders are working hard to curate their Monologue Museum Exhibits.
Each 5th grader has been gathering information about a notable person that they learned about at some point in elementary school. This is primarily a research writing project, but in true A+ fashion we integrated language arts, reading, math, visual art, and drama.
The Monologue Museum Exhibits will go on display as part of our upcoming art show that will be held on Thursday, May 19th from 5:30-6:30.
The 5th graders will perform monologues during the event to help viewers understand the notable person they learned about and the thought that went into the creation of each piece.
This speaking and listening game was so much fun that Mr. Mees just had to join in.
