Cereal Box Music Era Report

Directions:
1. Choose a Music Era and research
that specific time frame.
2. Find an empty cereal box.
3. Cover the box with paper or paint
over the designs on the box.

Remember if you dont have paper or paint you can borrow them from
your instructor.

4. The front of the box should include the following:

a. Name of Your Music Era.

b. Dates this Era took place.
c. Your Name.
d. Draw a picture that shows what made this Music Era FAMOUS.

5. The back of the box should include a summary of the Music Era.

This must be in paragraph form. No less than 4 paragraphs 5-7 sentences

each. And ALL STANDARD ENGLISH EXPECTATIONS
APPLY! It might be a good idea to also include a timeline.

6. On one of the narrow sides of the box give your Era a unique title
that summarizes your Eras contributions to the world of music.
7. On the other narrow side of the box include additional
information that you believe your reader should know about what
makes your era exceptional!

OVER!

This project will count as a 100 point test grade.

NOTE: Make certain your Music Era Cereal Box Report is neat,
organized, colorful, interesting and eye pleasing. DO NOT simply
print off a bunch of info from the inter-net and paste it on the box.
This MUST be an original work in your own words!
NOTE 2: These projects will be on display at the upcoming School
Board meeting so make certain this is your best work!
