September’s Genre Project: Fantasy
Cereal
Before September
30, read a fantasy novel in your Lexile
range and complete the following project (due NO LATER THAN 9/30), which counts
as a READING TEST GRADE.
1.
Save an empty cereal box (or similar type box).
2.
You will invent a cereal based on your fantasy book and
design a cereal box that presents the information listed below about your book
and the fantasy genre. You do NOT need
to actually make the cereal itself; you are decorating the box.
3.
Use paper, scissors, glue or tape, markers or colored
pencils, etc., to decorate your box. You
may want to cut the paper to fit and decorate it before adhering to the box.
4.
FRONT: Write the name of the cereal and draw an
illustration. (You might model your
cover after the actual front of your cereal box.) Come up with an enticing name. The name and shape of your cereal should
relate to your book.
5.
BACK: Create a game, puzzle, word search, etc., on the
back that includes at least five elements of fantasy found in the book you
read. At the bottom, include a
description of the fantasy genre in general.
(This could be a sentence or two, another game, or something else. Be creative!)
Please include an answer key when necessary.
6.
RIGHT: Under the heading “ingredients,” list the main
characters and write a descriptive sentence about each one. Also write a descriptive sentence or two
about the setting.
7.
LEFT: Write a summary that describes the main conflict
and resolution of the book. Make the
language of your summary appealing, as if you are advertising the book.
8.
TOP: Write the Book Title and author.
9.
BOTTOM: Write your name, the date, and HD5. (This may also be a good place for your
answer key if you need one.)
10.
Plan a thirty-second to one-minute commercial to
advertise your cereal to present to the class on 9/30.
11.
You may include extra information on your box AS LONG
AS the required information is included.
Going “above and beyond” the requirements is encouraged to earn full
points in each category.
