I was looking at this lapbook here for SOTW: http://runofthemillfamily.blogspot.com/2010/04/story-of-world-lapbook-for-volume-one.html?m=1

 

For the life of me, I can';t figure out how this thing goes together and how to 'create' it lol...I will say I've never done lapbooks before, but I looked online and saw how they're constructed, but this doesn't seem to go together like the others I've seen??

Did you watch the video? She goes through the whole thing so that would help you see it a little better. I dislike how traditional lapbooks are put together so we put any big ones together in a more book-like format. For this sotw one we just used the components on notebooking pages to go in our history notebook.

Watch the video. The notebook made more sense to me after i saw it.

 

Ds is currently doing the lapbook because I found it helps to focus him while reading a chapter of SOTW. I think dd is a little jealous because she's more crafty. However, I was surprised at how well he took to it. Now it's "his" project and I find other projects for dd to do.

We've been doing it this year. I second the recommendation to watch the video. I found the most difficult part to be putting the file folders together! Most of the mini-books become self-explanatory afte you've done a few, though they always have directions. I printed up all of the templates at the begining of the year so we can just take out the next template after reading a chapter. My kids have enjoyed doing it, and it is nice to have a pre-planned form of output to go along with our history reading.

If I were to do it over again, I would make the components and then glue them into file folders when we had enough to fill a folder (that's what we are doing for SOTW2). Later you could glue the outsides of the folders together, or 3-ring punch the folders and put them in a binder. The video was complete, but the final lapbook, with pages folded was bulkier and more awkward than needed.

 

I never completely understood it until we just started doing it.
