On Wednesday 25 of our talented students acted as notable African Americans during our annual Black History Month Living Museum. I gave students a research guide to help them organize their research and then turn it into a speech. Students worked on writing their speeches in first person and practicing it out loud at home. During our dress rehearsal, we gave
students feedback on their presentation via a rubric. The rubric gave each student feedback on eye
contact, speaking clearly, preparation, pace, and voice projection.

performed at the luncheon for students and families in 25 minute shifts. We
were visited by Jackie Robinson, Marie Maynard Daly, Jesse Owens, George Crum, Serena Williams, Shirley Chisholm, and Wallace Amos--just to name a few! Our
actors were courageous, professional, and impressive! Thanks to all the
families who were so supportive of our young actors. They shared a wealth of
knowledge about important people who have contributed so much to our world.
Great job, manatees! Your hard word taught us so much!
