Do you know what a lapbook is?

Today I am going to talk about lapbooks. Do you know what they are?

Lapbooks are tools that people use to talk or to teach about all subjects. They are a kind of book made with paperboard folder with small pieces of folded paper glueded inside and they may contain facts,diagrams, illustrations and so on. It will depend on the students', parents, or teachers' ideas. Yes, teachers use lapbook to give classes  and also parents to teach their children at home too. This is very commom in the US, for example.

We did this kind of work last semester and some were really fantastic! Students worked hard to create them as it is not that easy to be made.The lapbooks were about the readers we work every semester so it was a different way to provide a good and distinct work in our classes. The students needed patience and a lot of creativity but at the end,it was really interesting.

Here you can see some pictures about the lapbooks we had the opportunity to see the students to create and present in class. There is also a video and then you can see an example of presentation.
