We have a push-in type model at our school. The majority of our social and science information is read during our reading block/guided reading/etc time. During my literacy block, students were reading books at their level on our solar system. They became experts at one specific thing about the solar system. They then were able to teach their classmates about it. As each student was sharing their 3-5 facts, the other students worked on good listening and notetaking skills, writing the information in the flip book.
To make the flip book. Take 5 sheets of 8 1/2 by 11 paper. Layer it about a thumb length away from each other. Fold it over so that the bottom of the top flap is about a thumb length from the top sheet of the bottom layer. Staple the top to keep it all together. I find the picture off the internet for the students to glue on top. You could also have them draw the picture of the solar system.
See other posts on my blog of other activities we did to cement our learning of the solar system.
