Students began working on their Living Museum prep guides in class today. Completed Prep Guides are due Friday, February 7th. The document is saved onto their Google Drives (a blank template can be copied from Mrs. Dyer's Google Drive).  A sample of a completed prep guide with sentence starters that can be used to help the students get started can also be found online. There are 10 interview questions and each question should have a 3–4 sentence response with full details. Truly, the more details, the better. Here is an example:

Sample Question: "When and where were you born? When did you die?

Sample response with full details: "I was born on a chilly Feb. 6 morning in 1872 in the town of Birmingham, Alabama. I've been told I was quite the small infant. Sadly, my mother passed away soon after my birth, and I lived with my father and two older siblings, Michael and Sarah. We lived in Birmingham until I was about nine years old. After a long and happy life, I died of a heart attack on Oct. 14, 1958. I was 86 years old at the time of my death."


Sample response with not enough details (too brief and leaves questions): "I was born on Feb. 6, 1872. I died on Oct. 14, 1958.
