liAT inston Churchill paid a -visit to Yeshivat
Akiva on Nov. 22. So did Grant Hill, Annie
Oakley, Pocahontas, and both Wilbur and
Orville Wright.
Shirleen Pensler's fifth-graders portrayed these famous
characters, and a host of others, in the school's first wax
museum. "I believe book reports should be pleasant, not a
chore," Pensler said.
The wax museum was a way to do just that.
To prepare for their roles, students read a biography or
autobiography of an important or interesting person.
Standing stock-still (or at least as still as 10- and 11-year-
olds can manage) in Akiva's main lobby in Southfield, they
waited for museum visitors to touch them on the arm.
Then they told all about the character they portrayed.
"The parents were absolutely enthralled," Pensler said.
"And we're still getting thank-you notes and candy from
the other classes."
This was the fifth-graders' second book report of the
year. For their first assignment, they were asked to "sell"
their books in an oral sales pitch to the rest of the class.
"Books are exciting, and I believe [students] should feel
that excitement," Pensler said. ❑
