Our brand new lapbook add-on for Middle Ages is an optional extension for people who love hands-on learning! This bundle comes with the printed cut outs for the level of your choice, along with the Instruction Guide with placement, cutting, and folding instructions and everything you need to make your lapbook—including your black folders shown below and your metal fasteners. You will also get the cut outs that you purchase in digital form in your orders in case you make a mistake and need to reprint something. Please note that any printing should be done double sided so the books and flaps line up as they are meant to. You will also need glue or glue dots as well as scissors for each child. If you have multiple students that want to make a lapbook, you will want to purchase one for each student so you have enough cut outs and folders/fasteners for each student.
The lapbook is designed to be done instead of your notebooking pages as a hands-on way to show what you know and even to present it at the end of the unit. It requires a lot of cutting and pasting and is not for everyone! We recommend pre-cutting the cut outs before the lesson and even working on one lapbook together as a family.
There are two levels to choose from: level 1 includes all the information and is as simple as cutting, pasting, and folding. Level 2 is for older students and has blank spaces for them to take notes, write what they learn, build their own timeline, and more. Level 1 is applicable for all ages, level 2 is recommended for middle or high school students that want more of a challenge.
