Staggered Flip Book
In each box, have students write the definition for text structure and some signal words. In
the rounded box, students will draw and label an organizer. Simply glue the pages you need
in a staggered format.
Instructions for Completing the Organizer:
1) Print the cover and information pages
onto colored paper.
2) Cut out rectangles.
3) Begin with the bottom page in the stack.
Turn the page on its back and place a
thin line of glue across the top of the
page only. Glue it towards the bottom of
the organizer notebook or lap book.
4) On the back of next page, place a thin
line of glue along the top.
5) Glue this page directly onto the organizer
page moving it up approximately one-
fourth of an inch higher than the first
page.
6) Continue to add pages until all are glued
down.
7) The pages should lift up so that students
can read the information.
