“The Hall of Saints Museum” October 30
__ /100 points
Students will dress in character and pose as if they are figures in a

small portion of their memorized presentation.
After Liturgy, students will stay in costume and be a part of the “Hall of
Saints Museum.” Students from the other grades will have a chance to visit
a saint in the museum and ask questions of that saint. Saints must be
prepared to answer questions about their life and death. A rubric will be
provided.
The “preview” to the Hall of Saints will take place October 30, 2014 during
our school liturgy at 8:30 a.m. in the ACS gymnasium. The actual “Hall of
Saints Museum” will take place later that morning. Students, staff, parents,
and friends of ACS are invited to the presentation.
Each portion of this entire project will receive a separate grade. Please
see the points possible for each portion. This is a “long-term project” that
requires “long-term planning!” Although some class time will be given,
students need to use their time wisely and meet each deadline in a timely
manner so as not to feel stressed about the final presentation. This project
is designed to help students utilize their ALM skills and wow us with not only
what they know, but HOW they know it! We are looking forward to
watching your saint “come alive!” Please sign below and show to Mrs.
Kluse by October 3, 2014. You will keep this form for your reference
throughout the project.
