Supplies Used: Cardstock, Double-Sided Tape, Glue, Pen, Scissors

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

  1. Die-cut XL Pop-Up #1B 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" using gold cardstock or construction paper. Fold on perforations, folding the Pop-Up tab forward.
  2. Cut a piece of orange paper slightly larger than the Pop-Up and fold in half to create the report cover (Figure A).
  3. Create a simple design for the cover by attaching a piece of gold paper to the cover at an angle. Cut away the overlapping paper so that the gold paper is flush with the orange report cover (Figure B).
  4. Adhere the Pop-Up inside the report cover using glue or double-sided tape (Figure C).
  5. Handwrite, or on the computer, layout and print the student's name and the title onto yellow paper. Die-cut the names and titles using the LG ClearCrop Puffy Star (Figure D).
  6. Attach the Puffy Star with the title to the front cover and the Puffy Star with the student's name to the Pop-Up tab inside (Figure D).
  7. To finish the project, die-cut the SM Puffy Star using several colors of paper for students to write the titles of books they have read (Figure E).
  8. Adhere these small Puffy Stars as the student reads a book, learns a new math concept, helps around the school or makes a soccer goal (see Main Photo).
