This product is PERFECT for teachers who are looking for a fresh way to spice up their unit on biographies - or simply integrate nonfiction text into their classroom. Using this product, students are assigned a "famous biography" and then responsible for taking important notes and talking points about their person of study. Using their information, they then create and design a cereal box (yes, truly a cereal box) that has all of their information decorated around the four sides. I have used this project in my class for several years and it is always one of my favorites! My students absolutely LOVE the opportunity to express themselves and reflect what they have learned about their famous focus person. Included in this product you will find: 1) Detailed teacher rubrics 2) Student project outline 3) Student note packet 4) Print & Go Rubrics 5) Suggested biographies to select from After downloading PLEASE rate and review this product!
