Flip For Facts Apple File Folder

I
designed the folder flip files, as a way to introduce early elementary
students to doing research and putting facts that they find interesting
into their own words.  These are a nice precursor to the reports that
they’ll later be writing.

To make one, run off the Flip for Facts apple cover.  Students glue it to the front of a file folder, trim  and cut on the lines.  There’s a blank page with 8 spaces for 8 apple facts. Students research  apples online
and write factual information in each of the spaces.  

Children should
use at least 3 sources and then cite them on the back or at the top, as I
have done in the sample.  Two pages of how to’s for correct citations
are included, as well as helpful links; plus a page of filled-in apple facts,
so that you can easily make an example to share.

If you’d like to add a bit more interest, there’s an additional small-medium-large apple
trace and color page, that can go on the left side of the inside of the
file folder. If you’d simply like to give younger students the factual
information, I’ve provided that as well.
