We have completed, well almost, week 3 of TOG Year 1. Rather, than focus on Egyptian gods, we focused on the 10 plagues and passover. I assigned both of my bigger kids to make a book about the 10 plagues. My daughter chose to make a fan book.

It's a little difficult to see, but you can get the basic idea. I was happy with the effort she put into it. I think she really learned the material.
I'm not super pleased with the way the fan book covers up some of the writing. We used the octagon shaped fan book (fat) available FREE from homeschool share. I did have the foresight to have her use the reverse orientation on the last 5 pages, but I think maybe I should draw a line to mark the end of the readable space. It may just be too many pages for a fan book. Probably a layered flip book would have been a better choice.
My son's book is still not finished. He is drawing much more elaborate pictures and he paraphrased a lot more of the biblical account for the text of his book. It will be very nice, I just need to encourage him to finish it TODAY.
