Accordion Book This book is a variation of an accordion book. There are many forms of accordion books and depending on what elements you include the books can function differently. This book has covers and a spine piece that make this book look and function like a traditional book. This book form can be read like a traditional codex, and also be displayed showing all of its pages, like a sculpture. To simplify, simple make the book without the covers and spine. Grades/Age Group: 3-12 Time Required: Prep: 30 minutes Teaching: 20-30 minutes Materials needed (sizes and paper types can be adjusted as desired for your class needs): 1. 3” x 24” text weight paper (1) 2. 3” x 25” text weight paper, (1) 3. 1 ½” x 3” text weight paper, (1) 4. 5 ½” x 3” text weight paper, (2) 5. Scissors 6. Pencil 7. Glue stick 8. Bone folder or popsicle stick for folding (optional) Procedure: 1.
