Make lapbooks into notebooking??

[kmom]

I am tired of making lapbooks and love notebooking...have any of you used a lapbook and turned it into notebooking pages? How did you do this? I want my dd to write more about what she learned...not just fill in a lapbook piece.

You can always make the lapbook pieces bigger or add extra pages to them. Another idea is add the lapbook piece to a notebook page and only add the bare minimum to the pieces, like a definition or list then write more about the topic on the notepage.

 

I plan on making a lapbook but each chapter will have it's own folder and on the back of the folder add some loose paper so notes and longer writing can be added. I did lapbooking for the first time this year and dd did feel restricted in her writing because she had to just a little blurb for each thing.

We are doing a lapbook/notebooking combination for our history binder. We use some minibooks, glue printed maps, include narrations, etc. I just put everything on regular paper, 3-hole punch it, and put it in the binder. It's been a nice way to move from lapbooks to notebooks. Gradually, I reduce the amount of minibooks and increase the amount of narrations.

I do this exact thing. Use the lapbook pieces to place on regular paper. Dd will add drawings, extra writing, etc. to what is already on the page. I started doing this because I got really tired of file folders. :D

We do this as well. Glue the lapbook components into 3 hole punches card stock. We use the pieces as a joking off point and write our narrations an often illustrate them as well.
