Description
This project invites students to research an influential woman and showcase her life, accomplishments, impact, and legacy through the design of a cereal box. The project blends historical research, creativity, and critical thinking in a format students love.
Students transform each side of a cereal box into a meaningful part of a biography — making learning hands-on, memorable, and fun while still maintaining rigorous expectations.
