The ‘Zig-zag book’ can be used as a publishing template or to retell a text the students have read. The first page is for an illustration and title and then there are two pages for text. The book is folded to make a ‘zig-zag’. Published books can be displayed by attaching the back page to the wall, so they fall open and can be read.
