1. How to Create a Magic Mini- Dictionary

2. Start with a 12x17 sheet of colored construction paper and two pieces of 4 ¼ x12 lighter-colored construction paper

3. Fold in half to 8 ½ x 12.

4. Fold again to 4 ¼ x 12.

5. Open to show fold on right side. Cut from fold to middle crease.

6. Repeat cutting from fold to middle crease just a little over an inch apart.

7. Keep cutting all the way to the bottom of the fold.

8. Open the sheet of paper to show the cuts in the middle two sections.

9. Weave one of the lighter colored pieces through the left middle section.

10. Weave the second lighter colored piece through the right middle, starting with the alternate slit.

11. Push outer sides together to middle.

12. Very carefully, pry apart the middle folded section to show two “new” pages.

13. Open up the middle section and press outward.

14. Close the mini-booklet and illustrate the “front cover.”

15. Page One, for vocabulary in the TL.

16. Page 2 for the translations. Page 3 for another TL word.

17. Page 4 for the second translation. The right section is the inside of the back cover.

18. The student writes name on and decorates the back cover.

19. 8 x 11 ½ size paper works also.
