Step by Project Gals White paper for setting Instructions for making the Present It Pouch! Fold handout and insert into pouch You are now ready to arrange your templates! Use a blank piece of paper for your students to illustrate the setting of the story. The best part about this is that your students can add as many sheets of paper to illustrate the changes in the setting. Students only need to color the top half of the paper. Tuck the setting illustration into the pocket that was created by folding the side of the file folder. You will notice that there is a space between the flaps. This is where you insert the folded template so that it hangs over the flap and can be easily turned around. Now hole punch two holes at the top of the file folder and thread some ribbon or yarn through it to turn it into a hanging stage. Use Index cards and straws to make people!
