Help! The edges of the pages are getting cut off. When printing, select “scale to print” or “shrink oversized pages”. This will ensure that the pages do not get cut off. If you want to print any pages to cut and paste inside of a composition notebook, select “scale to print” and change it to 85%. Help! The pages look blurry. If the images on the pages look blurry, make sure you are opening the file with the latest version of Adobe Reader. You may need to download and install an update in order to see the pages more clearly. Help! My Mac is set to open PDFs with Preview instead of Adobe Reader. Macs can default to open PDFs with Preview. To change this setting, single click on any PDF file while holding down the control key. Click on “Get Info” from the menu. Click on the triangle to expand the heading “Open With”. Preview will be listed as your default. Use the pull-down menu to select Adobe Reader instead. (If you do not see it as an option, you will need to download it for free from Adobe’s website.) Click “Change All”, then “Continue” to change this setting for all PDFs.
teacher tips perfect lapbook for the 1 Prepare Materials
2 Create Your Lapbook Base
• File folders (1 per student)• Brass fasteners (4 per student)• Scissors and glue• Colored pencils, crayons, or markers• Construction paper (optional)• Copies of lapbook pages for each student
• Open the file folder.• Fold each side in towards the center
crease.• If you are using manila file folders, kids
can add construction paper to the folder to strengthen (and decorate) it.
2 Add the Details to Your Lapbook Students should begin working on the inside of the lapbook first.
If you can’t get the hole puncher to reach, I like to poke a hole with a paperclip before pushing the brad through. I find that it’s safer than using something sharp (like scissors).
Make sure that students glue the pockets on the flaps only so that they can still fit the extra pieces inside.
After students complete the inside of their lapbook, I have them decorate the front flaps and the back. I like to have them use the decorations to cover up the metal brad pieces used to attach the inside pieces.
