  15. North Africa/Middle East Dioramas • Teams use a shoe box and other materials. • They “create” their research 3-dimensionally.

  16. European Cereal Box Project • Students choose a European country. • They research that country’s culture and topography. • Then, they create a “cereal” with their information.

  17. European Cereal Box Project • Students depict their research on the box’s sides. • They place 3 visual, cultural items inside their box.

  18. European Cereal Box Project • Students present their “cereal” to the class. • They will pull the three items from inside their box, show the class and discuss them.
