But here is the odd part.

She has to complete her book report in the form of a cereal box. The book report must be presented in on a cereal box, and in a cereal box format, including a "game" on the back.

I am struggling to figure out why. What are the positive(s) from this approach?
My daughter in grade 2 has a cereal box book report due on Monday.

Generally the reason is:

-kids like to do crafts
-kids do not like to sit down and write a few pages. Many kids feel threatened by the prospect of a multi-paragraph multi-page report.

By doing the cereal box you can have the child convey the necessary information that they read and understood book but it is done in a fun manner that doesn't seem so laborious for the child.
