This book is good for organizing information occurring in 4. You can make the tabs all the same size, or you can customize the flaps to fit the information. Just simply fold the paper hot dog style and cut the top flap into as many tabs as you need. 

This book is also good for showing a short sequence. Ex: Life cycles. 

Students can also use this to collect data for an experiment that may last several days. One one flap they draw what they see, on the flap underneath, write their observations. 

Flip books are great for organizing groups of ideas that are related to each other. Students are able to see the big picture and have access to the details. 

To make this foldable, first decide how many tabs you will need. Round up to the nearest even number and divide by 2. That's how many pieces of paper you will need. Do not include the top or title flap in your tab count. Lay the papers on top of each other about a thumbs width higher for each page. Fold the stack in half and staple the top 3 times.
