Pop Up Foldables

   One of the challenges of teaching is to vary activities so that all learning styles have an opportunity to flourish. One of my seminary students last year loved when I occasionally added arts and crafts. She listened and comprehended much better when she had work for her hands. Here is a journal of sorts with pop-up pages.

                                             A small slit in the paper creates a step for glueing on an image.

   Two slits create a added dimension. A lesson about Brigham Young is a perfect example of using two slits to create a comparison pop up.

                                            The file folder closes easily even when you add four to five pages.

                                               To start, fold a paper horizontally, we call it hamburger style.

                                                    Cut the slit, or slits, on the folded edge.

                           Slide your finger through the holes and bend the paper back to create steps.

   Glue the outside top edge to a file folder or piece of construction paper. Do not put glue along the folded edge. As you add pages glue the top page, outside edges, to the back of the preceding page. Finding graphics is easy when you google Book of Mormon coloring pages or Church History coloring pages. Many of the hits lead you to The Friend but the google search is easier than navigating The Friend site. Some students will want to create their own graphics.

                                                                          Happy Teaching!!!
