National Cereal Box Project
Objective: For students to gain knowledge of a European country’s geography and culture.
Pretend that you are in the advertising department for Kellogg’s cereal. Here are your assignments!
Part I. Create a cereal box that advertises the important features of a country.
Part II. Write a television commercial to advertise the cereal, using a jingle or catchy slogan.
Part I. Cereal Box – Cover with construction paper or plain wrapping paper.
Decorating your cereal box: Students will decorate their country’s cereal boxes based on the following categories listed below but please keep the following guidelines in mind:
• Students will label facts about their country on their cereal box
• Students should also try to represent each category of facts with at least 1 image which can be either hand drawn or computer generated. For example, if a student was assigned Switzerland they may want to have a small image of the Alps near their landform category.
• Every European country is different so there is no set amount of facts that students must have (for example, Germany definitely has more landforms than Vatican City)
• Rather, students should strive to make good use of the space on their cereal boxes while also creating a factual, colorful and creative representation of their assigned country!
Front of box:
o Write a catchy cereal name that relates to the country.
o Beneath the cereal name, draw a bowl or logo that contains cereal “pieces” that represent the country. (symbols, landforms, flags, historic sites, etc)
