This document provides a lesson plan for students to create a cereal box design based on a book, character, historical figure, or event using a design process. Students will brainstorm ideas, choose a direction, and refine their work in Pixlr based on inspiration from their chosen topic. They will include elements like the character, cereal, quote, and facts on the front, back, and sides of their cereal box design. Their finished projects will be critiqued in Google Classroom.
