Book in a Box Book Report

You will create an original book promotion by using a cereal box format to encourage others to read the book that you read. This will be called a book in a box.

You will need one cereal box for this activity. If you do not have a cereal box handy you can get one at school. Just be sure to ask Miss Mac before the Spring Break holiday!

The box must be completely covered in some sort of solid colored material. Paper will be provided at school and if the student brings in their box before spring break, the student will have the opportunity to cover their box at school.

The students may use markers, colored paper, felt, a computer, colored pencils, or crayons to create a colorful book in a box. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE TYPED!
