Cereal Designers

For our last persuasive writing assignment, the children DESIGNED their very own cereal! First we watched a few cereal commercials online. The children and I generated a list of important words/ideas we gathered from our research, such as: "low in fat/sugar," "full of fiber," "a great way to start your day," "no artificial colors," "tasty" and "will keep you healthy!" The children then went back to their seats and decided what they would call their cereal, the shape of the cereal, and then they began the design of their boxes! The last step was to write a persuasive letter to General Mills explaining why they should consider actually creating this brand new cereal. (Again we made sure to include persuasive terms, including: clearly, obviously, just think about, consider, The children LOVED this project! They were so creative and came up with some truly great ideas. These kids amazed me with both their boxes AND their writing!

Thank you for all of the cereal box contributions (the extra boxes were especially appreciated!:), Having the boxes really helped increase the interest and excitement of this project! These are some pictures of the kids who have already presented their work!
