Each lesson uses one colored folder for a total of 14 folders needed to cote this lapbook. Gather your folders and fold the so that they will be ready to use as you get to each lesson. Directions for folding are included on a following page. At the top of each ini-booklet page are directions concerning the construction of your inibooklet, pages to read fro the Fulbright book (highlighted in bold text), and what your student will record in the ini-booklet after reading to show what is learned. A sall key is also here to show you where to glue each ini-booklet into the folders. When the first two folders are filled up with the ini-booklets, follow the directions for using duct tape and a three-ring binder to ake a storage syste. Do this for all of your folders as they are coted by the student. In the back you will an answer key, additional reading suggestions for each lesson, and enrichent pages. Haburger Fold-Fold horizontally Hotdog Fold-Fold vertically Folds-Labeled with a sall line to show where the fold is and the words haburger fold or hotdog fold. Dotted Lines-These are the cutting lines Cover Labels-Soe of the booklets will have a cover label that will need to be glued to the top to cover a blank space.

2 Folding the folders 1. Gather the nuber of folders required for your particular lapbook. 2. Open up each folder and flatten it out. 5. When your child has filled up the first two folders with the inibooklets, take the two folders and apply a generous aount of glue to their flaps. Stick the together. Now you are ready to prepare the for the storage syste. Do the sae for the rest of the folders as they are coted. 3. Take the right side and fold it all the way over until the tab is just before the iddle crease in the folder. Do not overlap this crease with the tab. Making a storage syste for your lapbook(s) This ethod of storage not only keeps your lapbooks fro getting lost but also keeps the neat and readily available to show to dad, grandparents, friends, etc. When they are not being shown off, just place the binder on your bookshelf! 4. Fold the left hand-side over just to the crease but not overlapping it. Your folder now has two flaps. We like to run a ruler down each fold to ake the fold neater and flatter. Do steps 3 and 4 to the reaining folders. Now it is tie to begin your lapbook. Roll out enough duct tape to go across the folders lengthwise. Put duct tape sticky side up. Place binded edge of lapbook on the duct tape (no ore than ¼ inch!). Then stick duct tape to the other side again about ¼ inch. There will need to be enough tape to hole punch. Stick duct tape into hole puncher but be careful not to punch holes in your folders. It will look like this. Store folders in 3-ring binder.
