Hello Parents!

Now that we have access the thousands of digital books on the new Myon.com, I would like each child to finish a book report next month. Of course, your child can use an actual book too. This will be due Monday, November 16th, 2015.

The students will decorate a cereal box with the illustrations and information related to the book they read using the directions below:

Front of box: use a piece of paper to cover the front of the cereal box. Use this page for the title of the book. Invent a name for the cereal that is related to the title of the book and sounds like cereal. Do not use the exact title of the book. Draw a picture what the cereal would look like that relates 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 lighting bolts.

Right side: Make a list of ingredients that include the story elements characters and setting. I will provide a template for this.

Left side: Write a summary that describes the book.

Back of Box: Design a game that is based on the book. It can be a puzzle, a word search, a word scramble, a maze, a crossword puzzle, a hidden picture illustration, 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, and number of stars you would give this book if you were a book critic. Also, include your name. The maximum number of stars would be 5. I will have a template for this if you desire to use it.

I will send home information on Monday with the cereal box book report templates.
