Over the past several weeks, Christian and Ethan have had a ball learning about Greece. So many interesting things to read about!! We put together their lapbooks last week and they've been so excited to share with everyone. I am teaching lapbooking in our co-op this fall and they wanted to be sure I brought them to show everyone. They are very proud!! Their lapbooks are very similar, just minor details that are different, but they said I had to post them both, so to be fair, forgive me for the deluge of photos!! 
Tapestry lists mosaics as an art project for this unit, we opted to do them as our covers of our lapbooks instead of a separate project. This is Christian's front cover, he wanted to do a pattern mosaic:
This is Ethan's cover with his version of the sea...red sand, purple water and green seaweed:
Inside on the left you will see where we made a vocab book similar to the worksheet given in TOG for Aesop's Fables. On the outside is the title of the fable. The inside tells the moral of the story. The boys really enjoyed these stories. The center flap is all about Greek Architecture...very interesting. The right hand side is matchbooks about famous people from Greece.

If you flip up the extension, you will find a map of the Conquests of Alexander the Great, with a Who, What, Where, When book about him.
Opening the flap to the right you will see a book about the Inside of a Greek Home, some Greek pottery, a book about the Olympics and a library pocket that contains cards that spell each of their names in Greek letters.

On the top of the extension you will see two masks we did for the Greek theater. I had the pictures I took printed of their paper plate masks and we included them in their lapbooks. The other was a coloring page. Ethan thought his needed teeth. 
 
As part of our literature, we read about King Midas. We cut apart the worksheet to include in our lapbook. When the right flap opens you can see some items that turned to gold when King Midas touched them. This was another fun book for the kids to read. They learned a lot about really thinking about what you may wish for!!
