For our first home project this year, we are going to be doing a cereal box book report. It will be due the first week of November, the week of the 1st. It can be a book your child is reading or has read on their own, one they have not yet read, or even one that you read together.
Cereal Box Book Report
Front of box: You will need to cover the front of a cereal box with paper. Before gluing or taping the cover on, it is a good idea to create the cover. The cover will need to include the name of the cereal and a picture. The name of the cereal can either be the actual title of the book or you can invent on that is related to the title of the book and sounds like a cereal. Choose a shape for your cereal and colors that all relate to the book. For example, for The Cat in the Hat, you could invent a cereal called Crunchy Cats with red and white cereal shaped like hats.
Sides of box: On one side of the box include the ingredients. For the book these are the characters and setting. List the main characters and tell about each one. Then describe the setting, the main places the story took place.
On the other side of the box write a short summary of the book. Keep it simple. It just needs to be enough so that everyone will know what the story was about and the main things that happened in the story.
Back of the box: Create a game that is based on the story. This can be a maze, word search, word scramble, or anything else you would like. Just make sure it includes things from the book.
Top of the box: Include the title, author, and number of stars you would give the book out of 5 stars. If you loved it, give it 5 stars. If it wasn’t so great, give it maybe 2.
Please feel free to be creative and have fun with the box. As long as it has the information asked for, it can be as colorful or plain as you want.
