Cereal Box Book Response

Book Title:______Author: ______

Directions: Make a cereal box that represents the book. You can glue what you create on top of an actual cereal box or create your own cereal box. Use a real cereal box for ideas about how to format and design the box.

You MUST include the following items on the box:

 Invent a name for your 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 the attached page of real cereal boxes to get some ideas.  Choose a shape and color for the cereal 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 lightning bolts.  Illustrate scenes and/or characters from the book.  Create a list of “ingredients” (characters, setting, problem and solution). Describe each ingredient briefly.  Create a "catch phrase" to go along with the cereal that relates to your book. For example: “Snap, Crackle, Pop!”  Write your name and date on the bottom of the cereal box.

Pick ONE of the following to put on the box:  Design a game that is based on the story. It can be a puzzle, a word search, a word scramble, a maze, a crossword puzzle, a hidden pictures 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.  Create a "Nutritional Facts" chart that rates the book by giving the percentage of the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) in several categories (humor, drama, suspense, action, education, vocabulary, etc.) Make sure you include these and at least three categories of your own.  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. You can even include a picture of the prize on the front of your box to let the reader know what is inside the box.
