Cereal Box Book Report

You have selected a teacher-approved fictional chapter book, so over the week read your self-selected book and create a cereal box book report at home. Decorate your cereal box with illustrations and information related to the book you’re reading by following the directions below.

FRONT OF BOX: Use a piece of white or colored paper to cover the front of your cereal box. (You will probably want to create the cover before gluing it on). Include the name of the book/cereal and a picture. Invent a name for the cereal that is related to the title of the book and sounds like a cereal. Do not use the exact title of the book. Choose a shape for the cereal as well as colors and ingredients that all relate to the book. For example, for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, you might invent a cereal called Wizard Wands, a toasted oat cereal in the shape of miniature lightning bolts.

RIGHT SIDE : Make a list of ingredients that include the story elements: Characters and Setting under the heading "Ingredients." List the main characters and write a sentence about each one, then describe the setting. Use white or colored paper, and do it your own way. Just make sure you include the main characters and the setting.

LEFT SIDE: Write a summary that describes the main problem and the solution of the book. Try to use words that will "grab" readers’ attention and make them want to buy your cereal.

BACK OF BOX: Design a game that is based on the story. It can be a puzzle, a word search, a word scramble, a maze, a crossword puzzle, a hidden picture, or any other fun activity that might be found on the back of a cereal box. Make sure it includes information from the book.

TOP OF BOX: Include the title, author, number of pages, number of stars you would give this book, if you were a book critic. The maximum number of starts would be 5.

PRIZE: Cereal boxes often include a prize. Your prize must be something the main character would have used in the book, or something that reminds you of the main character. You can even include a picture of the prize on the front of your box to let the reader know what is inside the box.

Your cereal box book report is due in class on Mon., May 16th, 2011

Right Side of Box

 

Cut out this box and place in on the right side of your cereal box.

 

 

 

 

 

Characters:

List the main characters and write a sentence about each one.  For example, if you were using the story “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” you might include the following characters:

 

Charlie Bucket: He is a poor boy who finds the last golden ticket and wins a trip to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.

 

Willy Wonka: He is the lively owner of the chocolate factory who allows six children and a member of their family to spend a day at his magical factory.

 

 

 

Setting:

Use complete sentences to tell where the story takes place.  You may find that there is more than one setting in the story.  For example, if you were using the story “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” you might write:

 

The beginning of the story takes place in Charlie Bucket’s very small house that he shares with his large family.  Once Charlie finds the golden ticket and wins the contest, the rest of the story takes place in Willy Wonka’s amazing chocolate factory.
