EDITABLE TEMPLATES (2 – 4)
Templates 2-4 of the flipbook are EDITABLE. Simply, type inside text to edit
content and save as a PDF file. The flipbook scaffolds the research process with
guiding prompts. This could also serve as the first draft where students use the
self-editing and peer-editing checklists to edit. Finally have students publish on given
writing sheets or type out content from draft observing corrections (optional).

*************************************************************
SUGGESTED USE:
Have students refer to books, websites, and videos to record information on
Valentine's Day.

*************************************************************
HOW TO ASSEMBLE FLIPBOOK:
You can choose either of the two options.

→ Print out the templates in blackline. Cut around each template and assemble from smallest template to largest template. Have students color in cover page. Staple at top tab for flipbook or glue descending order in notebook.

→ Print out the templates on cardstock (different colors). Cut around each template and assemble. Attach at top.

*************************************************************
PREPARATION
→ For grades 2-3, bundle up to 6 sheets together after sorting, align them perfectly and cut.

→ For grades 4-6, students are old enough to cut and compile flipbooks on their own. I have my students compile all sections of the flipbook prior to research and writing.

*************************************************************
DISPLAYAfter completion, display students’ flipbooks under the Valentine's Day Banner. These flipbooks are sure to make an interesting bulletin board display.
