This document provides information and instructions for creating unit lap books to organize content and prepare students for end-of-grade (EOG) exams. It discusses using lap books and data to guide instruction and intervention. Key steps include identifying important content, creating foldables and visual displays, allowing student creativity, and using data from assessments to determine instructional priorities and group students based on needs. The goal is to engage students and help them master objectives in a hands-on way through the unified study guides.

Beginning to End

2. Unit Lap book
GREAT ORGANIZATIONAL TOOL THAT WILL WRAP UP ALL CONTENT INTO ONE
UNIFIED STUDY GUIDE.

3. Unit Lap Book Pre( preparation)
 Unit lap books are used as a unit study guide.
 Go through the curriculum and pick out all important content
 Use the DPI website for the percentage break down of your content
 Example: Diagrams, vocabulary, procedures, formulas, graphs can be used to
assist in mastery of objectives.
 Begin to create foldable that can display information
 Make sure to organize your lap book in a manner that is easy to read and
comprehend.
 Make a sample that students can use as an example.

4. Unit Lap Book Preparation
 First start out with a file folder

5. Unit Lap Book Preparation
 Step One: Open folder and lay it flat on a surface

6. Step Two: Grab the two ends and fold them towards
each other.

7. Step Three: Crease firmly

8. Now you are ready to create a study guide
Pick on objective:
 Use graphs, pictures, maps, vocabulary,
percentages, diagrams, worksheets
 Anything that is important and catches
students attention, use lots of color. Color
code your objectives.
Example: Science: Chemistry
 Vocabulary: Matching definition to term
 Law of conservation of Matter statement
Compare and Contrast Physical vs. Chemical
reaction
Steps to solving a chemical equation.

9. Allow your student to be creative
 Color is very important to our brains. If you want your students to remember :
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS USE COLOR
 Allow students to draw , use foldable of their choice
 Give students options

10. Lap Books
Lap books are a big hit in the classroom. I use them at the end of the year for
EOG preparation. When my classes are ready to review, we begin to construct Unit
Lap Books for all Units. We review by creating a foldable , drawing diagrams, graphs
etc., for each unit.
This hands on exploration allows your students to review and prepare while they
are visually and kinesthetically engaged. Students are not even aware they are in
EOG preparation mode.
This tool allows my students to have a unified study guide with everything they
need in hands reach to assist their goal in mastery of all objectives.

11. Using Data to increase EOG preparation

12. Data Collection
 While analyzing data is important to look for what needs to be done for improving
outcomes.
 Changes should be made in instruction providing enrichment and academic intervention
when necessary .

13. Using Data
 Give pretest and record results for baseline data.
 After teaching a standard, quiz students on standard.
 Record and chart results.

14. Using Data (con)
 After results have been recorded, go back and decide if the objective/standard is a high, medium,
or low priority for their students.
 A plan of action can be determined for the class and for individual students.
 The data will decide how to use instructional time effectively. ( whole group vs. small group)
 Retest and record results until desired achievement level is obtained.
 Test again at a later date to ensure mastery.

15. Classroom Data Board
 Give small assessments weekly to measure students’ progress.
 Record information onto a data sheet, chart and/or graph for the entire class. This
information can be displayed in the classroom.
 Have contests with classes.
 Reward success.

16. Schoolnet
 Schoolnet breaks down performance by standard while providing links to related
reports, which work the same for both Classroom and Benchmark tests.
 Schoolnet gives an overall picture and helps group students based on strengths
and weaknesses on tested standards.

17. Student Data Folders
 Students are given copies of standards and I can statements.
 Students are responsible for charting their progress for each standard that is
assessed.
 Students are given the opportunity to reflect becoming more accountable for their
own learning.
 Students are motivated when they see improvement.
