Cereal Box Book Report

Genre:

Fiction Chapter Book

Directions:

Find a chapter book that is neither too easy nor too hard for you. You must

choose a book by Friday, August 19th.

Read you book over the next three weeks for your 20 minutes of reading

per night. You may also read the book at other times as well -- such as in class for

silent reading.

Find a real cereal box and cover it neatly with paper to make it blank. You

are going to redecorate it for your book report.

Completing your report:

FRONT OF BOX:

Decorate the front of the box. You may want to create the

cover before gluing it on. 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. You

may want to look at some real cereal boxes to get ideas. 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. Or for The

Tale of Despereaux, you might make a cereal called “Despereaux’s Rainbow Flakes, a

delicious mix of mouse shaped flakes in all the colors of the rainbow” because in

the story he loves light. You may use a computer to create the words, but the

drawings and coloring must be done by you.

Cereal boxes often include a prize. Your prize must be something the main

character could have used in the book or something that reminds you of the main

character. Include a picture of the prize on the front of your box.

RIGHT SIDE:

Make a list of ingredients that includes 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. You can use the

template on the attached sheet or do it in your own way. Just make sure you

include the main characters and the setting.
