V ocabulary Storage Pocket Making the Mini-Book Your pages must be duplicated on the front and the back. I ran my pages front and back directly from the printer. This is a simple process with only four pages. Simply place the page that has been printed on one side back into the printer for the reverse side to be printed. Once all the pages have been printed arrange them in numerical order and staple down the middle to form the book. [See the completed book on page 5.] To print the vocabulary book back-to-front follow this guide: Cover and Page 6 on the front and Page 5 on the back Pages 4 & 1 front with Pages 2 & 3 on back After printing this page on colored paper, have the students cut out the pocket on the bold lines. Next fold the left and right sides toward the back of the pocket on the dotted lines. Then fold the bottom flap up toward the back. Glue the flaps in place. Finally glue the pocket to the inside front cover of the practice booklet. This pocket may be used to store the word cards found on page 4. Print the cards from page 4 onto cardstock. Cut the cards apart. Have students create word webs on the backs of the cards. Store these in the pocket provided on this page. ~ Page 6 Gay Miller ~
