Book Report details:
Cereal Box Book Report:
Due:
Monday, September 5th
- Find an empty cereal box. Cover with paper. (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 cover for your box and the name.
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 AT LEAST three Ingredients. Possible ingredients might include: mystery, action, romance, humor, drama, suspense, history, fantasy… (ex: 96% humor, 3% mystery, 1% drama) This side should also contain a summary of the book IN YOUR OWN WORDS – not what is written on the book.
- On the other side of the box, write a summary of each of the main characters. (ex. Harry Potter is a young boy who just found out that he is a wizard.)
- 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,
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: Dress up
or bring
props.
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 – 20
points (3-5 ingredients + summary)
Character Summary – 15 points (in own
words)
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 (on 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.)
