Cereal Box Biography Project - Black History Month or any biography
This is a Black History Biography project which required my students to create a new cereal based on the life on a famous African American. The students had to design a cereal box to tell the story of the person they chose. They had to include things like a cereal name that relates to the person, a picture of the person, a timeline of the person's life, character traits of the person, and a written report of the biography they read about the person. My own students had a blast with this project.

Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes.
The Three Little Pigs is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are l
