Dinah Zike's Big Book of Books and Activities
You'll find enough folds in Zike's book to keep you busy for a while.
Paper Cutter
You can use scissors, but you will wish you had used a paper cutter. It will save you time and many headaches.
Glue Sticks
It's important to use glue sticks, not liquid glue, to paste the mini-books to the poster board.
Craft Glue
Glue sticks won't work when you want to paste poster board to poster board. Use craft glue instead.
Cardstock--White and Colored
Avoid neon colors. They don't last over time. (Yep, I learned that one from experience!)
Copy Paper--White and Colored
Avoid neon colors. They don't last over time.
This will be the shell of the portfolder.
As students finish their mini-books, they can safely store them in a labeled bag until it's time to put together the portfolder.
Photo Corners
Use photo corners to affix photographs of field trips and hands-on activities to the poster board.
You'll need a yard stick to measure and crease the poster board. For instructions on how to make a portfolder shell, go here.
When students are planning the layout of the portfolder, paper clips temporarily anchor the mini-books in place.
