A lapbook is simply a collection of minibooks affixed on a base. As you are studying your chosen homeschool topic, whether it be Colonial America or Penguins, use the mini-books to reinforce or narrate what was studied. In this way you can make a mini-book every day or so. Once your unit study is over, you will have a nice collection of mini-books to mount into a lapbook. If your child is very young, you can write or type the text for him. Many children enjoy typing the text for mini-books on the computer.

An Instructional objective states what the student will demonstrate at the end of instruction. Each objective is singular, focusing on one specific goal that you want the students to attain. It is a clear and unambiguous description of the educational expectations. The objectives serve as the foundation for learning and establish the focus for teaching by providing an instructional framework. They facilitate assessment by clearly defining expectations in behavioral, observable, and measurable terms. http://www.studentteaching.org/id16.html
