Cereal Box Book Report:
Due September 5th
- Find an empty cereal box. Cover with paper. (I suggest a light color so that you can easily read writing and see pictures.)
- On the front, create a cereal that represents the story.
(ex:
Timon & Pumba cereal with bug marshmallows.)
Draw a picture of the cereal
and the name of the cereal on
the front of the box. You can include one of the main characters
“advertising”
the cereal if you would like. Be creative!
- On the back of the cereal box, create a puzzle/game having to do with your book. Examples: crossword, maze, matching pictures…
- On one side of your box, list the Ingredients. This should contain a summary of each main character.
- On the other side of the box, write a summary of the story (NOT the blurb on the back cover) Also list “Nutritional Information” – ex. 96% humor, 3% mystery, 1% drama.
- On the top of the box, write the Title of the book, # of pages, the author, and the # of stars you’d give the book (out of 5.
- Put your name on the bottom of the box. Turn in on time. You will lose 5 points every day your book report is late.
- Present your book report in class. Your presentation will be a 30-
60 second television commercial. Practice your commercial to make sure
of the wording and the timing. Do
not just encourage the audience by using opinion words (exciting, great,
interesting, best, good, etc.), but also by featuring elements of the book-
scenes, facts, etc. Be dynamic and
try to convince the audience to buy the cereal whether you liked the book or
not. Optional: Be a character from the book when you
present your commercial.
You will be graded
on the following:
Creativity
and Neatness – 45 points
Name
of Cereal – 5 points (original, relates to story)
Nutritional
Facts and Summary – 15 points
Information
Included – 20 points (included all other required info)
Game
– 5 points (creative, relates to book)
Presentation
– 10 points (eye contact, able to talk about book – not
just reading information
from the cereal box)
Points will be
deducted if the report is not turned in on time AND/OR if the book did not meet
all the requirements (1on reading level, never read, chapter book)
Extra credit will
be given for going above and beyond (ex. REALLY creative, prize inside box
having to do with story, etc)
