\u201cTeaching Competences with Lapbooks<\/strong>\u201d proposes an original interdisciplinary didactic program <\/strong>aimed at primary school children making use of lapbooks as a tool, or rather three-dimensional concept maps to build, that summarize a topic in a creative and dynamic way.  In the wake of this quote by the teacher and pedagogist Alberto Manzi, Paper, Scissors and Apps<\/em> is a notebook that assists children in kindergarten<\/strong>
\nwith discovering the wonders of the world, thanks to the help of technology.<\/strong> Find out more!<\/a><\/p>\n

Teaching Competences with Lapbooks <\/em>is part of the series dedicated to teaching with lapbooks<\/a>, which have already sold more than 40.000 copies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

WHAT IS A LAPBOOK?<\/p>\n

A lapbook is a dynamic, creative collection of contents<\/strong>. It is made out of folders of various sizes, according to intended use and necessity. It contains minibooks or templates which hold essential and specific information regarding a chosen topic. The ultimate goal is to create a three-dimensional, interactive map<\/strong> of what you have studied and learnt, through a practical and personalised project. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

THE COMPETENCES LAPBOOK<\/p>\n

According to the authors, Giuditta and Ginevra G. Gottardi, learning passes mainly through the senses and emotions. The lapbook, in particular, falls within the sphere of learning by doing<\/em> and proposes activities which are strongly focused on the student’s personal experiences<\/strong>, following the experiential learning cycle:
\nproblem <\/strong>\u2192<\/strong>experience <\/strong>\u2192<\/strong>communication <\/strong>\u2192<\/strong>analysis  <\/strong>\u2192<\/strong>generalization  <\/strong>\u2192<\/strong>application<\/strong>
\nThe lapbook can be used as a conceptual map both to summarize the contents learned in a single lesson and to summarize the entire work done on a topic. It is therefore possible to think that if we design a Learning Unit based on skills, this project can be summarized in a lapbook.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

LAPBOOKS FOR PLANNING A LEARNING UNIT<\/p>\n

\u201cTeaching competences with lapbooks\u201d proposes five Learning Units<\/strong>, one for each grade of primary school.  Through the use of a lapbook, each unit presents an interdisciplinary learning path<\/strong> that involves multiple school subjects using a fable as a starting point. <\/p>\n

Aesop\u2019s famous fables<\/strong> are the common thread, chosen according to the topics covered in the national curriculum:<\/p>\n

1st Grade: The Cicada and the Ant<\/strong>
\n2nd Grade: The Dog and his Reflection <\/strong>
\n3rd Grade: The Stork and the Fox<\/strong>
\n4th Grade: The Tortoise and the Hare<\/strong>
\n5th Grade: The Country Mouse and the City Mouse<\/strong><\/p>\n

\t The text provides clear instructions and materials ready to be photocopied and distributed to the children to create a lapbook in which the contents learned can be summarized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

HOW TO MAKE A COMPETENCES LAPBOOK<\/p>\n

Let’s learn more about the process of building a lapbook, taking the one proposed for first grade as an example, starting from the fable \u201cThe cicada and the ant\u201d<\/strong>.
\nHere is how the lapbook looks at the end: closed (left) and open (right)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WHO IS IT FOR<\/p>\n

A lapbook is a teaching tool available to teachers who decide to build interdisciplinary educational paths, allowing students to find connections between the various subjects<\/strong> and acquire transversal skills<\/strong>. The lapbook can be built individually or in a group.  Thanks to its inclusive nature, each student can bring his or her contribution and has the opportunity to share his\/her work with classmates. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
