Black History Month Cereal Box Project



Black History Month Cereal Box Project

In this project, you will create a new cereal, based on the life of the famous African-American you pick out. You may use any type of resource you want for this project including encyclopedias, books, the internet and computers. This project is due Monday, February 2, 2015. Late projects will not be accepted.

Instructions for cereal box:

1. Get a cereal box and remove the inside bag and any extra cereal.

2. Cover the box with construction paper.

3. Cover and decorate one large side of the box with a picture of the hero and name of your new cereal. The name of your cereal should relate to your person’s name or something important they did. This side of your box could also have pictures of things this person did.

4. Cover the other large side of the box with a typed or hand-written summary of the person’s life. Remember to include things like when the person lived, what important things they did, and why these things were important. Also, make sure your African-American’s name is on this side of the box.

5. On one small side of the box, print or type your bibliography (try to put it sideways).

Instructions for your bibliography:

On the “other” small side on the cereal box, you need to list the resources that you used to research for your box. Be sure to keep track of all your resources so that you can keep track of them at the end of your project and list them.

6. On the other small side of the box, you will put a time line.

Instructions for your cereal box time line:

In addition to the information already included on your cereal box, add a time line of your hero’s life. Be sure to include at least five important events in American history that occurred in your hero’s life, as well as important dates in your own hero’s life (when they were born, when they died, and other important events). This should be typed or neatly written in ink.

Be sure to decorate the box as if you’re really trying to sale this cereal!
